hi ricardo, here is my try at it, let me know if it is better. What i did is :
- load the first image of each set (as it is needed for the hover state) - use a "placeholder.gif" file put as src attribute value for all images, the real src being stored as a custom attribute (realsrc="http://path/to/my/image.jpg"; ) and on album selection, replace each of the album images src attribute with the realsrc value. http://www.lisapram.com/index.17.php thanks! alex On Fri, Oct 31, 2008 at 5:41 AM, ricardobeat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think a good compromise would be loading only the few first images > for each set, an arbitrary number, then load the rest on demand as > each set is opened.
