dave, ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< > From: Dave Stevens > > Could you check out http://www.flipcycle.com/home.html > and specifically the bottom frame. The images (news, > gigs, info, etc) have rollovers which should be > preloaded by the javascript in the <head> section. ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< they're preloaded alright, but they're attached to variables that aren't used anywhere. additionally, the mouse over and mouse out events change image src to an image path. so, while the path is the same, the browser doesn't know you want to use the ones it's already loaded in memory and attached to variables so it goes and fetches them again. have your friend use this instead: http://members.evolt.org/jeff/code/preload_n_rollover/index.cfm good luck, .jeff http://evolt.org/ jeff at members.evolt.org http://members.evolt.org/jeff/
