Is it possible to remove the square that you see when an image isnt loaded completly yet? I woul like to have it plain white (as is the background of the site)
@holyhttpSep 14.2012 — #Specify the width and height of the image so the web browser can just reserve the required space for the image without showing the small square.
@holyhttpSep 14.2012 — #Adding a background image to a foreground image is really an overkill if not counterproductive. Yes, it's a trick but one with a price: an additional http request to the server which just increases the page download time. Besides, using inline style should only be a last resort, read when really necessary.
@ZABISep 18.2012 — #hMMm, i think this issue is with a specific browser. chrome does not show this kind of the box while loading an image. you can optimize image file size and set some cache. also you can set image' style "display: none;" and then you can use onload event to show the image.
