Subject: javascript question


| HI all
| 
| I have a javascript function that preloads a bunch of images.  I have
| another function that I want to execute only when all of these images are
| fully downloaded.  How can I do this?
| 
| This is what I have:
| 
| function preload(){
| 
| image1 = new image();
| image1.src = "test.gif";
| file://etc for a  whole lot of images
| 
| do_this_function_after_preload_has_completed();
| 
| return true;
| }
| 
| However the second function is triggered right away, not after the images
| are all loaded.  Does it not process the function one line at a time,
| loading one image then the next then the next and finally doing the
| "do_this_function_after_preload_has_completed();" function?
| 
| 
| hope that makes sense
