Jon that was the same exact problem i had with my slideviewer 'plugin'
to 'preload' the images i move them -999 em to the left and when
dodument is ready (images have been downloaded) i simply switch class
(left: 0) and voilà the trick is done. You're right expecially Opera
won't download an image if that image is INSIDE a div wich has diaplay
NONE..
