Emulate Facebook By Preloading Previous & Next Photo Gallery Images

 / Published in: jQuery
 

URL: http://www.nealgrosskopf.com/tech/thread.php?pid=77

Ever notice how fast images load when paging through a Facebook photo album? Facebook is preloading each of these images into your browser's cache before you even view them. Learn how to accomplish this using a couple lines of jQuery.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. var nextimage = "/images/some-image.jpg";
  2. $(document).ready(function(){
  3. window.setTimeout(function(){
  4. var img = $("<img>").attr("src", nextimage).load(function(){
  5. //all done
  6. });
  7. }, 100);
  8. });
