Sorry, looks like some of my sample code didn't quite come through.
So basically I started just trying to create an image and not actually
insert it into the page, but just create it so the image would be downloaded
to cache.
So I tried this originally:
$(' ').attr('src','/images/blah.jpg');
That didn't work in IE so I just assigned the new image element to a
variable and it worked like this:
var somevariable = $(' ').attr('src','/images/blah.jpg');
But you could also assign it to an array item as well like I mentioned
earlier:
array[item] = $(' ').attr('src','/images/blah.jpg');
