This is off topic, but here ya go:

NOTE: This will give you an error in IE 2.x and 3.x  You should always
check for browser compatibility if it concerns you.

In Netscape x.x, and IE 4.0:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

frame1 = new Image();
frame1.src = "http://www.blah.blah/frame1.gif";
frame2 = new Image();
frame2.src = "http://www.blah.blah/frame2.gif";
frame3 = new Image();
frame3.src = "http://www.blah.blah/frame3.gif";
frame4 = new Image();
frame4.src = "http://www.blah.blah/frame4.gif";

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
blah blah
</BODY>
</HTML>
