You can use this preload plugin and run it as soon as possible: jQuery.preloadImages = function() { for(var i = 0; i<arguments.length; i++) { jQuery("<img>").attr("src", arguments[i]); } }
$.preloadImages("over.png", "out.gif"); $( function() { // do something when page is ready } ) On Apr 6, 8:14 am, "miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I am loading this animated .gif loader image into the blockUI > dialog.
