I have this code to preload images that appear on mouseovers. The paths are fine.

code:
var aryImages = new Array(14);

aryImages[0] = "images/home-residence_05-over.gif";

aryImages[1] = "images/home-residence_06-over.gif";

aryImages[2] = "images/home-residence_07-over.gif";

aryImages[3] = "images/home-residence_08-over.gif";

aryImages[4] = "images/primary-menu_01-over.gif";

aryImages[5] = "images/primary-menu_02-over.gif";

aryImages[6] = "images/primary-menu_03-over.gif";

aryImages[7] = "images/primary-menu_04-over.gif";

aryImages[8] = "images/primary-menu_05-over.gif";

aryImages[9] = "images/primary-menu_06-over.gif";

aryImages[10] = "images/primary-menu_07-over.gif";

aryImages[11] = "images/primary-menu_08-over.gif";

aryImages[12] = "images/primary-menu_09-over.gif";



for (i=0; i < aryImages.length; i++) {

	var preload = new Image();

	preload.src = aryImages[i];

}



Is the code fine?
Do i need an onload event in the body tag.
If there are any mistakes, could someone please correct it and post it?

Thanx a lot.

No you have to create an array of preloaded images


so something like

preload = new Array;
for(i=0;i<aryImages.length;i++){
preload[i] = new Image;
preload[i].src = aryImages[i];
}

then use the preload array to get your preloaded images
