Preload a webpage?

[Luke]

Is there an effective way to preload a page? I've tried some from google, but they never seem to work..

Thanks

Probably through javascript. Are you trying to preload images for :hover so it doesn't load them?

(PS: You have an epic last name, imagine getting stuff through the post saying 'Master Bateson' LOL! Anyway yeah that's pretty funny.)

@Above - In some book we read in english, there is a character called Master Bates. LOL

Been there, get Mr now. LOL

And, I'm just generally wanting to preload all images on the index page, the hover buttons are fine, they already preload, its just some big images, seem to slow the page loading alot.

For large images the easyest way would be to change the image format, also make sure your code is clean, its the small things that make a big diffrence when it comes to loading times. :)

not sure if this will work but can't you load the image in an iframe? if you place it on a fast loading page (if you can at the bottom of the code or in the footer) it should load into your temp files, then next when they go to the other pages it will load very quickly.

(don't flame me please if i'm wrong)

That would cause it to load slower, due to the iframes - and that extremley messy.
