Preserved Topic: preloading images

i know, there are many threads about preloading images, but i didn`t find the right one. so please help me or post a link to the right thread.

someone told me, that there is a way to preload all images of a site. after all images are preloaded you can click through the page without loading those grafics because they are all in cache. is that true?

this is the script i use for myself to preload images:

picture1on = new Image();
picture1on.src = "image1_on.gif"; /*rollover image*/
picture1off = new Image();
picture1off.src = "image1_off.gif";

rather simple and primitive though.
hope it helps.

first i wanna say: WELCOME TO THE ASYLUM, maestro!

thx for your code-snippet, but i just need an answer to my question.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.
Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

oops, hahaha guess i shld haf read your post properly.
well to answer your question, the answer to that should be yes, provided the user didn't get the browser to refresh the pages completely (that is, your Ctrl F5 in IE).

another example of preloading would be floodgear
