Ugh, sorry -- the problem is that you're preloading the images right now, but calling the wrong images!

You are preloading "pstv-template_##b.jpg" and calling "/images/pstv-template_##b.jpg" in the code -- make them the same set of images and you'll find they work better.

Thanks for the help. I made the adjustment but it's just as slow. Should I give up on that scripe and lookfor a different method? Or is that pretty much the univerally standard way to do a preloaded mouseover?

Heh - yep, Suzanne's solution should fix it. Before you do, just for fun, run your mouse up and down the menu a few times quickly. If you do it enough, the server becomes overwhelmed tried to call up those 8 images over and over again and gets stuck at "8 images remaining" and the rollovers stop working completely.

wow. the delay is visible on dsl as well. big flashes of white.

You're not preloading the mouseovers, you're preloading the images that load anyway...

Try this instead:

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
image2 = new Image();
image2.src = "pstv-template_02b.jpg";
image4 = new Image();
image4.src = "pstv-template_04b.jpg";
image5 = new Image();
image5.src = "pstv-template_05b.jpg";
image6 = new Image();
image6.src = "pstv-template_06b.jpg";
image7 = new Image();
image7.src = "pstv-template_07b.jpg";
image8 = new Image();
image8.src = "pstv-template_08b.jpg";
image9 = new Image();
image9.src = "pstv-template_09b.jpg";
image10 = new Image();
image10.src = "pstv-template_10b.jpg";
&lt;/script&gt;
