Preloading images: I use the standard Dreamweaver script
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
var d=document; if(d.images){ if(!d.MM_p) d.MM_p=new Array();
var i,j=d.MM_p.length,a=MM_preloadImages.arguments; for(i=0;
i<a.length; i++)
if (a[i].indexOf("#")!=0){ d.MM_p[j]=new Image; d.MM_p[j++].src=a[i];}}
}
In the HTML after BODY,
onLoad="MM_preloadImages('xxx.gif','yyy.gif','zzz.gif','and-so-on.gif')"

The problem is that the client saw a competitors website and wants
the same thing. I guess I didn't look at the competitor's site long
enough to see how many transitions they had. The grey images were
the ones after the guys playing ball and after the group of girls. I
am looking now for an image preload script to speed up the image
loading.
Thanks for the reply.

Hi all,
On a website I am working on, the client wanted pictures that
changed with a different transition between each picture change. I
found a Java applet to do this and it worked fine on my computer
but when I upload it, two pictures show up as grey. (URL:
http://www.starqualitydesigns.com/Moodus/) The images are in the
right directory, everything is named correctly and I checked the
case but no luck. If anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong I
would appreciate it.
Also, I have no idea what to put on the page to "color/colour" it
more - I plan on putting more pictures between the text but it
needs something else. Any opinions are welcome.
Thanks,
Riva
Before you look at more colour, I'd seriously think about sitting
the client down & persuading him/her to go for one or two at most
different transitions. The way it is right now reminds me of what
happens when you first let 10 year olds loose with Powerpoint... I
doubt anyone will sit with it for long...
I can't see any grey images - were they towards the end? - but even
with broadband, they do seem to be taking a long time to load. Does
anyone else find the same problem?
