I'd try to avoid writing a routine explicitly for each image and
instead use a loop. This is thoroughly untested.
$(function()
{
var width = 1680;
var height = 946;
var imagesSrc =
[
"images/16-9/mark.jpg",
"images/16-9/Matoso_070526_2977_leila.jpg",
// etc.
];
/* create the Image objects
*/
var imagesObjects = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < imageSrc.length; i++)
{
imagesObjects[i] = new Image(width, height);
imagesObjects[i].src = imagesSrc[i];
/* this, or the block immediately below
*/
$(imagesObjects[i]).load(function()
{
$("#img_" + i).attr({src : $(this).attr('src')});
}
}
/* maybe this way is better
*/
$(imagesObjects).each(function(i)
{
$(this).load(function()
{
$("#img_" + i).attr({src : imagesObjects[i].src});
}
});
/* Put the first image into the Main Image Wrapper
*/
$("#image img").attr({src : imagesObjects[0].src});
});

Nice pics. In FF3.0.5 (linux) when I click a thumbnail, the main image
fades out (could be a tad faster), fades back in, then abruptly
switches to the new image. I had a look at the gallery script but
couldn't figure out where the problem lies. My gut tells me that could
be optimised, too. But, one can't really say for sure without
understanding everything that's being done and I really should stop
procrastinating ;-)
