I recently tested a site on the following browsers:
Win IE 6
Firefox 1.0.x
Safari 1.2+
Opera 8
Of these, only Opera failed to preload some gallery images that I had
hidden (for exposure on hover) by using display:none; and
position:absolute;
I changed it to visibility:hidden; and some swapping of z-index
values and achieved the same gallery effect, but now Opera is
preloading the image. Since then I've also tested on Win IE 5.5, but
the CSS was already changed so all I know it works with the new method.
YMMV.
