PreLoading images

[lMike]

Does anyone know of a script to pre load specified images like large ones and while it’s loading it shows you like a loading page?
I have searched Google and this forum and found nothing
Any help is much appreciated!

And why exactly would you want to do this?

JavaScript: Preloading Images

First hit when you search for "preload images javascript". Now do you have any particularly good reason why I shouldn't close this?

Because that’s not what I need, I found hundred’s of script to preload images but I want one that shows you a different page while the images load! If you understand? :)

Thats even easier, just place the loading-image on your screen and use the javascript mentioned above to load the other image and then display it on top of the one you want. A div with position: absolute should fix that.
