[Javascript] image preloading problems

i'm probably going where many have gone before but a google search did not
reveal any obvious problems.
basically i have a two panel image gallery script - entirely
javascript. the left panel is thumbnails, the right panel is a medium
sized image. the tricky part is the client wants the user to click on the
medium image to open a new window with the full size image. the window is
then click-to-close.
i tried preloading the large image but many browsers don't seem to actually
request the image! the only one that works is ie-win.
i tried writing the window opening code to check to see if the image
properties were set but that doesn't work reliably. a lot of the time i
get "information not available yet" javascript errors.
is there a way to (a) force the image to load no matter what and (b) wait
until it has fully loaded before proceeding?
here's a short page that illustrates the problem i'm having.
