Hey Lee, Thanks for that but I am already preloading the images in a div and am using the .onload method to do the mouseover effects... Also not sure if I could optimize the images even better, they are pretty tiny for what they are.

Hi Allan, The reason is because there is a temporary pause where the image is loading the new rollover, while your javascript is continuing it's script and changing the height of the image to your new specifications. So the old image appears stretched until the new image has loaded and can be replaced. There are a few solutions available, the easiest may be to optimise your images so their weight is much smaller, this should allow them to load quicker and hopefully eliminate the problem. However this may still occur for people on slower bandwidths. Another solution would be to preload the images with a simple javascript based preloader. There are a few jQuery based ones knocking around. A third solution would be to use the .onload method and attach it to your image. Such as: this.onload = function() { // Apply new height and width rules... } Alternatively, my personal suggestion would be a more complex one using css, background images, an image matrix and simply allocate a class to the anchors of 'selected' when they are rolled over, allowing specific rules to be applied. However, thats a much longer explanation needed to achieve this, although I believe we should be looking to keep behaviour and presentation seperate from each other. Hope this helps.
