Preloading Images with CSS
A nifty way to use CSS to preload images (from specere.net):
#preloadedImages {
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
display: inline;
background-image: url(path/to/image1.png);
background-image: url(path/to/image2.png);
background-image: url(path/to/image3.png);
background-image: url(path/to/image4.png);
background-image: url();
}
#preloadedImages then gets added after body. Especially good for page-specific style sheets.
