How to order which items to load?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

I’m pretty sure there is a code that lets you specify which order you would like items to load in (for example, you want the entire webpage to load and once its loaded, a video on the webpage will begin to load), but I can’t remember how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Onload handlers are one hell of an unreliable method, but if you want a try then google for "javascript image preloader tutorial"

Thanks again
