onLoad="MM_preloadImages(”)" question

How can I specify to preload all images in the image folder… and is it really worth? How/what does preloading help when one opens the main page and the images are already loading regardless of the preloading command anyway? I assume the preloading command is for pages that haven’t been accessed yet. Thanks.

@CentauriFeb 27.2008 — Preload is usually for images that aren't normally displayed on the page initially, usually rollover menu images. If the rollover images contain all the rollover states in one image (using background shift for the rollover effect), then preloading is not needed. In any case, a preload script will do no good if the user does not have javascript enabled.

Success!
