Ok, but how I can do it without ever referencing the javascipt preload
variables again? ie: without using the document.write or the "myimg" name.

Something like this, if it works:
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
preload(my.jpg);
// -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
<img src="my.jpg">
</BODY>

Of course what I am missing is a preload() function.  I dont like the
method you suggested because I dont want to use javascript ever again on
the page, once the preload is done.  Every example I find uses this method,
is there another?
