Malte means that NS will not load a table until the whole of the images are loaded (if you do not use width/height tags) as otherwise the loading process is very messy while imgs load and rearange the layout.

Hmmm, still confused? I would be

goKewl - I'm confused. You're saying that if I use height and width on graphics the rest of the table will load first and then the graphics? Or if I don't use height/width the table will load first then the graphics?

A way to increase the loading time of the main table is to use images without a width and height attributes. That way the table cant be displayed until the image is loaded (at least in NS, I'm not sure about IE's Layout engine).

This should dramatize the effect.

Later,

That's the way I have my pages too and it doesn't seem to be working.

Any suggestions?

I do this by placing the top part of the page within a separate table from the main area. This way, the top loads quickly, while the rest of the page takes as long as it needs to finish loading.
