what exactly do you mean?
perhaps this is what you want:
have something like this at the tope of your code:
checkuser();

function checkuser() {
var password = ""
var password = prompt('What is the password?','')
if(password.toLowerCase() != 'el_grande') {
window.location="other.html";}
}

i think that should work, if that's what you want...
if that's nothign like what your after, then give us DETAILS!

bunchapixels has given you a JavaScript way to go to another page.

You can also have your page switch to another using a META tag in your header like so:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=other.html">

where the "10" is how many seconds to wait before forwarding and the "URL" is obvious. I hope either bunchapixel's suggestion or this one helps.

Yes, you could do the Javascript one by calling the function with the onLoad trigger in the body tag. That would ensure that your page had loaded *before* doing the redirect. Whatever you do though, don't redirect to the same page, that would really bite!

Hey MAX, i read all of them before i posted, they didnt answer my question. I barely know anything bout scripting, so I pretty much need a script with blanks for me to fill in the images and the page to load after preloadind has finished.

Can anyone help............................

El_Grande, you have to activate your brain cells a little bit, or else you won't learn anything new and JavaScript will remain a mistery... Anyway, the easiest preload script that exists can be found here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/preloadimage.htm . If that ain't easy I don't know what is, heh!

Hey MAX, I really dont wanna spend the time to learn this stuff, i dont plan on doin anythink like this for a career. I just like doin graphics and wanted a cool site, its a hobby.

My real life interest in Engineering. Mechanical to be exact. I'll be starting college in the fall for that.

I guess i can do the easy script, maybe i'll get bored and actually try to figure out how to add what i need to the scrpit.

Thanks

hmmm... if you're not interested in writing scripts, then maybe you should not make pages that use them, o grand one.
try to look at this from our perspective.
now, i am a smartass loser with tons of spare time on my hands, but there are a hell of a lot of professionals out there, and you are basically saying 'look fellas, i cant be bothered learning javascript, so i want you to spend your time writing them for me'.

Ok, this can be done really easly with JS, well, sorta, there is a way to do it, but is fucked up, but if you want to...
First, put as many images on the page you want to load from, as on the second page (just make them 1X1 pixel transparent GIF's)
second, for each image you want on the next page, do this

document."imagename".src=the image you want to load on the next page
this will cache it.
