I've programmed an image to &quot;look&quot; at the cursor, wherever it is. Here is the source for the image in the <Body>
[tt]
<img src=&quot;images\straight.gif&quot; name=&quot;follower&quot;>
[/tt]
Here is the code that is called by onmousemove event:
[tt]
Looker = new Array(
&quot;images/straight.gif&quot;,
&quot;images/up.gif&quot;,
&quot;images/upright.gif&quot;,
&quot;images/right.gif&quot;,
&quot;images/downright.gif&quot;,
&quot;images/down.gif&quot;,
&quot;images/downleft.gif&quot;,
&quot;images/left.gif&quot;,
&quot;images/upleft.gif&quot;
);
function mousefollow() {
getmousexy();
if (xmouse > (ximage+45)) {
if (ymouse > (yimage + 60)) document.follower.src=Looker[4];
else if (ymouse < (yimage - 60)) document.follower.src=Looker[2];
else document.follower.src=Looker[3];
}
else if (xmouse < (ximage-45)){
if (ymouse > (yimage + 60)) document.follower.src=Looker[6];
else if (ymouse < (yimage - 60)) document.follower.src=Looker[8];
else document.follower.src=Looker[7];
}
else {
if (ymouse > (yimage + 60)) document.follower.src=Looker[5];
else if (ymouse < (yimage - 60)) document.follower.src=Looker[1];
else document.follower.src=Looker[0];
}
}
[/tt]

I've tried every pre-load image routine I can find. The thing is that even after an particular image has been viewed it still has a delay while it goes back to the web to reload it every time it changes. I'm stumped.

My cache is large enough...any other ideas?

I tried it on a different browser and it worked perfectly. I had my browser set to check for newer versions with every visit to a page. When I set it to &quot;Automatically&quot; check for newere versions, it worked fine. Jonathan

this means that if your clients have this option off, they won't see your site properly ??

This means that if viewers have this site off, they will have a delay in viewing the image. I know I could fix it with layers and if it were a corporate site, I would take the time. It's a personal site and I have other things that are higher priority. Jonathan
