[thelist] Javascript Help Needed

Hi all, this is my first time on this list, an event borne of frustration
and lack of general skills, heh.

Here's the conundrum: I am making a website that uses pull-down menus and
GIFs to make a multi-layered display of some map data. I have it working
quite well at the moment, but there is a minor problem. Due to my lack of
experience in such ventures, I wrote the javascript in such a way that it
preloads all the images (over 1 thousand). This is quite a bad thing to do,
and a fo pas in my undrestanding.

If I could get a couple people to load and look at the source for me, I
would greatly appreciate it. I don't suggest doing this on a 56k modem
however, since it takes 30-60 seconds to load -locally-.

Thanks.
