Build a website with javascript games and other dynamic content

Step Five - preload image

To load an image even when it is not displayed can be done with something simliar to the next script

<script>

if (document.images)

        {

        a = new Image(52, 53)

        a.src = "pix/2.gif" 

        b = new Image(52, 53)

        b.src = "pix/2on.gif" 

		}

<script>



This is how in the page before the images where loaded in to the cache even when they were not displayed yet. This methode ensures smoother changes after the page is loaded completly, because the image can be retrieve from cache if needed. Obviously it will take longer to load the page in the beginning.
