Images not pre-loading for web

Jim

I know this is a little off-topic for C#, but I'm writing
my user controls with C#, and the other more HTML-related
groups looked like there hasn't been activity in days for
some reason... anyway....

I am wanting to create a user control (ASCX) that contains
a navigation panel so that I can simply include it on
pages within my site. The ASCX will contain images for
the buttons, and incldue script to make the buttons light
up when rolled over, as well as push-in when clicked on
(and subsequently pop back up, etc.) and gray out when the
button represents the page being currently viewed.
Creating most of this was a snap with Photoshop and
Imageready.

The problem I am encountering though is that IE doesn't
seem to pre-load the images into the cache, unless it's
simply a situation that IE is outsmarting me. Here's what
I mean:

I create a "ContactUs" button, a rollover image, a click
image, etc., and then write a prelaod script to preload
the images (JavaScript), and then a simple fxn to swap uot
the images, no prob. But I wanted "test" to see if the
images were "really" being per-loaded, as all of this runs
nice and fast on my LAN, but what about for users on the
outside? So, I load up my test page, and even go so far
as to roll over, and click the image to be sure taht
everything's loaded into the cache... then jump out to
Windows explorer, sneak in to the images directory, and
change the name of (for example) the rollover image...
switch back over to my IE window, and as soon as I roll
over the image, it disappears, meanign that IE for some
erason went back out try and find the image, hence it was
NOT being pre-laoded.

Is IE outsmarting me? Thinking, I have a broadband
connection here (or this is just a local page) and so it
doesn't cache things, or is there a setting somewhere
either on my web or in IE that I need to sue to tell it to
cache its images?

This creates a problem when I browse from the outside,
rollover effects sometimes don't seem to work in a timely
manner, like they're not really being proelaoded. FYI,
the website URL is http://www.myrmi.com This is a site I
am currently working on, so never mind the fact that the
links dont' do anything. For right now, the images are
the point. Thanks for any help anyone can provide! :)

Caching Images

by: Dave Griffiths | last post by:

Hi all Very new to JavaScript, I am trying to cache a number of images as the page loads, is there a max number of images or memory usage before the browser stops caching. My PC has 1G ram so if it's a physical memory constraint then I think I am away from that. I am trying to cache about 600K images, (this if for an intranet so the page load time is fast) but I need the speed of cached images for the page to work correctly. I seem to...

IE 6.0+ refuses to pre-cache images?

by: Penelope Baker | last post by:

Greetings: I cannot seem to get IE 6.0 to pre-cache my rollover images. Every time the user rolls over a link, it rereads it from the server, even though it is well into the cache by that time. It works fine in Netscape, Mozilla, Firebird, Firefox, etc. Suggestions? (Other than the obvious one regarding IE :P) Thanks!

Preloading images, and getting their height and width (firefox)

by: Van der Weij | last post by:

Hi, I want to preload some images for a webpage _and_ determing their width and height. The problem is that the scripts continue while the images are loaded in the background, while I need the thus undefined values of image.width and image.height. Thus I'm looking for a function which stops executing my script until the images are all fully loaded.

Randomizing images without preloading and repeats

by: utahwrx | last post by:

I currently have a Javascript application that randomizes about 200 images. The problem is that the images preload, which causes the entire site to not come up until all the images are loaded. I'd like to find a Javascript application that can load images as they are randomly chosen. In addition, I'm trying to figure out how to not display the same image more than once; or at least until after the 200 have been displayed, then create a new...

Faster way to create images?

I've got an app that downloads images off the internet using anywhere from 1-20 threads concurrently (though generally around 4 threads). I have a preview page that shows the images as they're downloading. The threads that do the downloading trigger an event every 32K (the size of the chunks I receive), at which point the images are drawn in the Preview page. To create the images, I create a memory stream from the data and then use...
