Troy III Ajnej, thanks for your reply... Below added a few comments....

There's a riot going on this subject...

This was also suggested earlier by Roger... But this is part of another 
problem: loading large data on the web on slow connections... and part 
of another discussion, and i've made my choices for this option... But 
these personal choices will not interfere with the structure of the 
script: in fact this script will be able to display a loading message 
while an image loads, wether it's huge or tinny...This is the reason to 
be of this loading script: to be re-usable. That's exactly why it should 
stay clean and simple... I'd like to point here the fact that I would 
like to use this script on a personal site, wich has nothing commercial. 
I'm a single bandmaster on this one, as well as playing all 
instruments... I also think a good, simple and accessible preloading 
script is missing on the web... If this script is nicely packed, 
crossbrowser i see a lot of applications for it and i think many people 
will have interest in it...

I reduced the last version, just for you, from 1337 Ko to 197Ko...

Impatient to read it...

I have no doubts about that... In fact i was very lucky for this cliche...

I would correct this proportion. It is,  around here in Europe, 90% for 
IE... the 10% remaining representing a lot of people ...

Thank you Troy... Looking forward to read from yours again.

Guillaume.
