Hi everyone Today added the first release of jQuery.Preload. As said in the project page, it's a multi-functional plugin to preload images. It can be used for 4 (or more) different situations.
The plugin is very small ( less than 1.5kb minified ) and offers many settings to configure it. It also exposes 3 callbacks. jQuery.Preload goes beyond a simple image preloader and can be used ( for example ) to generate galleries with little code(like shown in the URL mode demo), or even to ping using images. I'm sure it can aid on many other situations as well (ideas are welcomed). The project page includes all the documentation for the different modes, every setting is explained. There're 4 small demos, one for each mode, which contain comments, and a code sample. Note that is not necessary to use it exactly as in the example. Its high versatility suits many diverse situations. Project Page: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Preload Demos: http://www.freewebs.com/flesler/jQuery.Preload/ The demos start with the Link mode, check all 4, linked on the right with red arrows.
