Background to load first?

Christylh8 · Jul 14, 2002

I have a page with a crucial background in which
I would like for it to load before the rest of the elements.

I know that HTML uniformly has the browser to load the smallest weight elements first, but is there any way I can bypass this?

Thanks!

If it were I, I'd use javascript to preload the background image. Search google for "javascript preload image" for lots of tutorials on that. That way, the image would already be loaded, and the background should therefore appear first, I think.

or try loading it in the <head> using a style sheet:

<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image:url(myImage.gif);
}
</style>
</head>
======================================

if (!succeed) try();
