Preloading images that are used as background in css

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

(I am sorry If this has already been addressed but I just thought my case was a bit rare)

So this is confusing me a bit.

I have a page where there are 4 images that are loaded as a div background via css file.

When I try to use javascript to preload them it just does not look like its pre loading them.

I tried doing the following but the images don’t pre loaded. They appear one after another.

[code]
<SCRIPT language=”JavaScript”>
<!–
pic1= new Image(100,25);
pic1.src=”http://someplace.com/image1.gif”;
//–>
</SCRIPT>

[/code]

Any tips gurus?

@3NexMay 01.2010 — What does [COLOR="Red"](100,25)[/COLOR] mean and where did you see that? I have never seen the Image constructor take any arguments and [COLOR="Red"]new Image()[/COLOR] has always worked fine for me..

But I don't use that argument because I don't want my images to be loaded with specific height and width.

(height,width) i think.

Anyway, does anyone have any answers to my initial question?

@tirnaMay 01.2010 — I've got some ideas but unless you post all your code (js and html where the image is called) instead of just 2 lines of it then I am only guessing and am not going to waste time posting something which may or may not apply.

@3NexMay 02.2010 — Please, just try using new Image() with no arguments and then tell me if that solved it.

If that didn't resolve it, then upload everything to a server and post the link.

Success!
