Hi
Why not make the background image of the <li> the same as the
hover. That
way it preloads itself?

Hi mysterious "E". Interesting approach! It seems to work and a real
quick fix.
I have tested on PC/Mac: Safari, FF, Netscape, Mozilla, iE and Opera.
Can you guys confirm?

Honestly I wasn't too crazy to try out sliding doors or preloader
scripts method (nonetheless it has to be done so that I can get over
with the whole annoying moment before stepping into a fresh new
year :) ), had wasted some 4 hours trying out one of the Stu
Nicholls' method (http://www.webreference.com/programming/
css_flicker/) and it broke quite badly in IE andI didn't feel like
fixing yet another IE bug.
If this truly works (sorry for my skeptism! Base on life' experience,
when thing is too easy to solve/fix, I have the tendency to cast
doubt), you'd just saved me hours of frustration for trying out
sliding doors (by the way, I read that article a couple of time, for
some reason I never really like the approach and therefor didn't
think of trying).
Best,
tee
