[jQuery] jQuery.preload - Getting Link Mode To Work

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 14:08:09 -0700 

I seem to be having issues with getting link mode to work with Ariel
Flesler's preload plugin.  I have a hidden menu, which shows a hidden
div when you mouse over a nav item.  This then shows a list of names,
and I am using the preload plugin to load up a thumbnail image for
each of the names.  Currently, it does not seem to be preloading, as
running your mouse over each name takes a few seconds for the image to
load.  So, for some reason,  it seems like they are not getting
preloaded.

And ideas on why this would be?  Did I implement the plugin wrong for
link mode?

Code:
// ----- Artists Menu: Show Artist Preview Image -----
        var $links = $('#artistsColumns a').attr('rel');
        var $preview = $('#artist_menu_artwork');

        $.preload($links,
                {
                        threshold: 2

                }
        );

        $('#artistsColumns a').mouseover(function(){
                $preview.attr('src', $(this).attr('rel'));
        });
