images: is pre-load possible - click able are small

El Paso · Post by **El Paso** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 8:55 pm

hi!

i have another two problems:

1) when using background images - the 'over' image starts downloading only the time i move the mouse over the menu - that is a problem with slow connections... as it displays no image on the mouse over - which looks strange...

is it possible to pre-load background & over images?

2) using the 'image=...' property displays the menuitem the size the image is - but the clickable area is only a small line on top of the menu item (i have set the 'itemheight=22' in the style - but also tried to set 'itemheight=50' at the menu item - but neither helps...)

can anyone help me?
thanks to all of you!!!!

nice greetings

El Paso,

In response to #2, see viewtopic.php?t=4024

In response to #1. Have you tried?

Code: Select all

<body 
onLoad="MM_preloadImages(
'dir1/dir2/imagename1.jpg',
'dir1/dir2/imagename2.jpg')">

This would be placed on your homepage and would cause the images to be loaded into the browser's cache.

,dave

hi dave!

thanx for your response!

the post for #2 does not really solve my problem - it's the clickable area that makes troubles...
if i use 'text=<img src=...>;' it works - i was just wondering why i have a 'image=...' property when it dows not render a clickable area that's the size of the image...?

#1: thanx for that - of course that will work - but that would mean to include that into every single page... i was wondering if there is a possibility within the menu - a function that allows preloading images, so that i can use that instead of including that in the 'body' tag (...its just that 'allwebmenues' is able to do that - and i thought milonic of course will have such feature as well - of which i don't know about yet

thanx again!
