No, will not preload in MSIE using document.images because it doesn't
support it.
"Is there a method for preloading in MSIE 3?"  Not sure, but you can't use
document.images detection; however, I would be interested in hearing a
solution :(

As far as I know, and I am quite sure, you cannot do JavaScript roll-overs
in MSIE 2 or 3.
As far as I know, MSIE 2 and 3 do not support JavaScript.

I wish everyone felt as you do. It would truly make the web-dev a more
peaceful practice.
