What do you want to preload? There could be a CSS way instead (depending on your answer)

Like I said ... it depends what you are trying to do ... if you're loading images for a rollover menu. Usually ... this means you have 2 images. 1 for the normal link state and 1 for the hover. Instead of using JS to preload the 2 nd image, just combine both and use CSS to display in the proper position.

Pure CSS rollovers without Javascript

But ... again ... this might have nothing to do with what you are doing so .. be more specific. Explain it better. Give us an example.

Ugh! Have a look at hotscripts or something ... But I would advise against it tho. It's very rare that you get a website that takes forever to load ... and if it does, it's because of poor coding.

I don't know javascript much but can't u display a text message in div like "Loading page please wait" and onLoad event simply hide the div...

well then this pages code needs a little work, mabe just have it load or 'render' in layers, I don't know how that works but most sites have that, this site has the effect, IMVU has it Myspace has it, I guess its in a css style sheet.

Just have a page that calls upon all the required images and things, or send a 'prerender' text or image

Yep. That's the way.
Something like this...

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<script>
var HideLoadingMessage = function(){
 document.getElementById('WAIT').display='none';
};
window.onload=HideLoadingMessage;
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id='WAIT'>Please wait, I'm loading...</div>
PAGE CONTENT
</body>
</html>

For future reference, if you want people to help you must take the time to at least explain what you're trying to do. Saying "I want a preloader, how do I do it?" doesn't get anyone wanting to help you. I actually think it's very insulting. You sound like a newbie though so I thought I should give you a 'heads up'...

Next time,
1. Search on Google (you would have found the following)

'Loading - Please wait' Message Display Script - Javascript

Add a 'Loading - Please wait' Message Display Script to your site ideal for sites ... to customize the script, then copy and paste it into your HTML editor. ...

2. If Google can't help you, ask somebody to help. But try to explain exactly what you want to do, with examples (if possible)
