Well, better.... The above is against HTML specs, if you're
orthodox. In Javascript it suffices to say:
<script language="JavaScript">
nice_image = new Image();
nice_image.src = "images/nice.jpeg";
</script>
to have the image preloaded 'behind the scenes'.
I just posted a code snippet to Suzanne for 'just-in-time' preloading
of the next of a sequence of images. I could repost that on the list
if anyone is interested.
