I'm having some issues preloading images with jquery in IE.
I tried just creating the image in memory with the appropriate source like this: $(' ').attr('src',iBuildThePathHere); But only Firefox will preload the image that way. The only way I've been able to successfully achieve the preloading in IE is to create the image element like above, then insert it in my document and then hide it instantly like this: $(' ').attr('src',iBuildThePathHere).insertAfter($('#someElement')).hide(); All the tutorials on preloading images I've read seem to indicate that you can simply create an image element (with jquery or with basic js like new Image() or document.createElement('img')) in memory and never actually append it to the document. Anybody else ever run into this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/preloading-images-with-jquery-in-IE-tp14330317s27240p14330317.html Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
