Image loading

[hawkettc]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a best practice for preloading images. When any user first hits an application, the rendering of the skin is very fragmented due to image loading. After a first run through the application, it is fine, due to the browser caching the images, but unfortunately the customer's first impression is not great. I know Sanjiv has mentioned using image bundles

for SmartGWT - is there any possibility of something similar for the plain-old-javascript implementation? Thanks,

Colin

Use the FileLoader to precache images. This is why there's no "image popping" in the SmartClient showcase.
