[Javascript] An image loader nearly working except for IE

[Troy III Ajnej]

Hi there,
>One last thing what's the [0] i see in many scripts for ?
Nice,
lets first explain the '.images[0]' statement, -with it you point the 
particular image object in document collection.
If you like to target the first image in the collection than it has to be 
value '[0]' since in JS, counting starts at null.
If you like to check the state for the second image in the document than you 
can refer to it as ...images[1]... and so on.

Secondly;
the onReadyStateChange can fire only from within HTML but, sure one can 
emulate it, inserting the IMG object on the fly with a proper script that 
contains the onreadystatechange event handler.

Thanks, but please don't use it, at least not without notice about the 
author.

And the last more important, I've seen the J.Lester Novros IIth,  idea that 
is one of the best and completed solutions allready. You should check it at:

If still available.

But at the end, I still think that this (following) tinny little script can 
do almost all the magic:
*******************************************************
function isImageLoaded(){
         if( document.images[0].complete){
		mask.style.display='none'}//mask is the ID of the masking div
                         else {
	                mask.style.display='block'}
                                   }
onload=isImageLoaded
******************************************************
Please test it against the targeted browsers and report the failures
(works great on IE though)

My Best Regards
