Emulating progressive image loading for IE using Javascript

Hi,

Internet Explorer doesn't load JPGs progressively. I need to show a
large graphic (100KB) on dial-up lines, so I searched for a way to
emulate progressive loading of images.

Couldn't find anything, so I've written my own, with bands of low-res
image being loaded and then overwritten with high-res. Have I been
re-inventing the wheel?

> However, instead of using either scripts or the low-res elements, I'd
rather suggest creating the images as thumbnailed links, so that a
user can load each of the full resolution images individually, if he
or she needs to.


You could also just slice up the image to several files. The disadvantage of
that method is that you don't have control over the sequence of loading.

Folks, I'm still learning javascript - I've invested in a couple of books and reading online as much as possible. I'm pretty sure what I am suggesting is possible though I'm trying to weigh up the faults that might go with the suggestion... all opinions welcome. My question: I have a list of links that go to pages that have a similar layout. Could I have a text swap, similar to what I've seen with image swaps (or an image switch)...

Hello .NET Gurus! I have been posting messages all over the .NET forums to no avail, so I thought I'd give this newsgroup a shot as well. I am trying to figure out how to detect if a user-uploaded JPG file is in Progressive or Baseline format. I need to determine this because the display mechanism I am using (namely, flash) is not capable of displaying Progressive JPGS. I have succesfully managed to detect the mime-type of the files,...

Hi Guys does anyone knows if the a JPEG file saved as JFIF version 1.02 is always considered progressive?

I'm using a simple, pseudo progress bar. Very simply, I display a still image next to a form submit button until the user clicks on it, and then I change the image source to an animated version of the still image. Like so (I use php a lot) ... -- the submit button and still image -- <input type=submit name="update _stats" value="Update Mailbox Stats" class="button"> <img id="loading" src="still_image.gif">

I did a javascript for the loading of images (I didn't want to have the images loaded in "on loading" because they are too many). The website is for a model and if you look at the codeof pages ( for ex. http://www.agathamoon.com/gallery_48_eng.htm ) using explorer or firefox it works, with safari it doesn't! :( The idea is to have the word "loading" appearing while going from an image to another.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
