onload hide the image and show the rest of the page.
yeap, sounds easy.... but...
how can I catch that event when page is loaded from JS???
and how can I hide all other content except this only one image?
If script is disabled, not available, errors before displaying the
content or the load event doesn't occur, those users will see only the
"loading..." image.
Back in the good old days, some browsers showed a blank page until all
content was loaded while others showed the page as it loaded. Users
showed a marked preference for the latter, which is why (all?) modern
browsers show the page as it loads.
Reverting to a scheme abandoned long ago in favour of a better one
doesn't make much sense - but hey, it's your page.
