Well, I'm not sure what exactly you mean, would you put the whole image image in the tooltip? It seems a bit overkill. And on the other hand, I'm not sure the image would be loaded until the tooltip is triggered (I have nil experience with html tooltips). > Now I only have to find the way to put that at > the end so that it doesn't affect the rendering of the actual page. > Would this be ok or did you have any other thing on mind?

I think there are two typical ways: using 0px (or 1px?) img tags directly (one can control when they are loaded by putting them at the end of the document). Or using JavaScript triggered by the onload event:: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-5214317.html In this case the JS way is a bit less of a hack, but it is JS :)) I'd be cool with the non-visible img tags but I have no strong preference. > > If everything goes ok the new flip version should be ready for the > next week (it depends more on my free time than anything else) Nice, keep up the great work!
