Thanks for your response!
I have the photos placed within a div (#photoshow) on the html page
itself - I'm curious to know how might your code be altered to preload
them in this situation?
Unfortunately I had no success with the script as mentioned on
the ...cycle/add3.html page. What has worked is a CSS rule of
display:none for all the imgs except the first, to which I gave a
class of "first" and a CSS rule of display:block so there is something
to see while Cycle loads up.
Propped up for now, but working. I appreciate your help!
