You may want to try a different approach. For example, you could use
javascript to add a new style rule to the CSS that sets the image to
visibility: hidden. This would have to happen *before* the dom has finished
downloading to ensure that it always hidden, so no need to wrap it in
$(document).ready().
document.write('<style
type="text/css">#mainimage{visibility:hidden}</style>');
Then, in your $(window).load(), you can set the visibility: visible before
calling animate.
$(window).load(function() {
//when everything is finally loaded, fade image in
document.write('<style
type="text/css">#mainimage{visibility:visible}</style>');
$("#mainimage").animate({opacity: "1"}, 1000);
});
I hope this helps.
