I think a css-image-preloader with { margin-left: -px; } should work
always.

Re: [css-d] Does a hidden element load?
I wrote one - based on an article I read before - some time ago after my
tests:
/* Pure CSS Image Preloader */
#img-preload{
position:absolute;
height:0px;
width:0px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#img-preload img{
height:0px;
width:0px;
}
/* End of Pure CSS Image Preloader */
I haven't found a downside of this method yet. I checked it in FF 1.0.7
1.5.0.3, IE 6 SP2 in Win, FF on Mac and on Linux and Konqueror in
Linux. That's all I have - IE7 hasn't found its way to my systems yet...
This method did seem to work on all of those systems as it does not hide
any elements, but renders them invisible otherwise. This ensures that
the images are indeed loaded no matter which browser-client comes along.
Feedback on this method is greatly appreciated!
Greets,
Tobias

Re: [css-d] Does a hidden element load?
Does an element hidden with css load? Yes. That may be a perhaps. If hiding means visibility: hidden I believe you are correct. But if Christy means display: none then I do know some browsers do not download the image. I don't recall which browsers, though. Sorry. If element refers to an element in (X)HTML, it will indeed load and you'll see it in the rendered source, even if its display is set to none. CSS doesn't command the existence of an element, merely its presentation. But it's an interesting question of whether background images in CSS are downloaded when the rule also includes a display:none property. I would assume yes, but it would depend on browser implementation and the order in which the properties are rendered. It might be the case that if display:none comes before background-image, some browsers wouldn't request the image file, but I would be surprised and annoyed by any desktop browser that behaved this way. It would mean display:none is being interpreted as stop reading at this point and continue to the next rule which is just plain wrong. -- Craig, www.focalcurve.com __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
