Hi Vinni !

I test its code on Apache, but want to control on the part of client.

Hi Lloyd,

I'm sorry; you're right. The only excuse I have is gray matter slippage or calcification.

Bonjour Valeri,

If you use Lloyd's example, it should work as advertised. If the problems persist, could you supply some code? What kind of server are you using?

Thank you for answer, but this not so. Theoretically - correct. Beside me at examination on local computer all work beautifully, but when has tried with server, has seen that IMG3 falls into cache quicker, than IMG2 - here is in this and problem. Question in that, possible in principal forbid loading with server in cache IMG3 until it is loaded IMG2 ?

Vinny:

The code you listed will not preload an image. It just stores a url into a string. You need to do the following.

pic1 = new Image();
pic1.src = "images/pic1.gif";

Hi,

My understanding is that the browser (because it deals with interpretive rather than compiled code) will load things from top to bottom. Therefore, if img3 is cached, img2 should also be cached since it came first.
If you are talking about preloading images, simply do so in the javascript script tags

pic1 = "images/pic1.gif";

then in the body in your img tag, you can put:
<img src=pic1.....

The browser will load each pic within the script tags from top to bottom and cache them until needed within the document's body
