Preload
January 29, 2008 - 5:27pm — Flesler
Note: Patched a bug of Safari 2, and 2 other bugs of IE, please upgrade to 1.0.7.
This is an advanced multi-functional preloader, that has 4(actually 5) modes integrated.
Each mode suits a different, common situation.
The modes are:
- URL: Preload a JS array of static URLs.
- Rollover: Preload based on DOM images, slightly modifying their src.
Can be used for rollovers, or for image-thumb. - Placeholder : Take regular images and set a placeholder image while they load. Show each original image when fully loaded. Allows sequential loading with a threshold.
- Link: Preload the images that appear in the href of the given links.
The plugin also provides 3 callbacks to interact with the image URLs during the preloading process. All the callbacks get a hash of data, with details of the related image and global information.
Please check the Homepage for full documentation.
Also, check the demos to see the different calls according to the mode.
