preloading images |

I read on a post that you shouldnt preload images. Is this true? Is it better
not to preload them so the page loads faster? If it's a rollover image, will
the underlying images (swapped images) display right away as they should, or
will they be delayed?

I always preload images. It may take a bit longer but I would rather have it look right then have only half the images showing up..
I use a j script to preload

In my opinion, the best is to only preload images that need to be
preloaded, i.e. swap images.
Because an impatient visitor to your site will be glad to see and start
reading your text before or while images are still loading.
For swap/rollover images, it's different, because you want your rollover
to work as soon as they are displayed.

Hi
Another way to do this is with CSS. Even using the preload option can
display a lag at times in IE PC. If you add your images into a div with
the display none property and value it seems to be more efficient, at
least in my experience.
#cacheit{
display: none;
}
And just add your rollover images in that div.
