I am trying to preload the hover images for a rollover/image swap menu in a ss template . (the menu itself is not depending on any ss content, it is a menu I have place in the template)
From my ss template I have.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/{$ThemeDir}/js/preloadmyimages.js"></script>
Here is my preloadmyimages.js, the path to this file correct because my debug window below works .
<!--
if (document.images)
{
pic1= new Image(52,70);
pic1.src="../images/ui/nav/n_01home1_on.gif";
window.alert('this is my debug message, my path to this file works')
}
//-->
These directories are all in the same (my template name folder in a standard ss template setup)
css
images
js
templates
but in this present state the images are still not preloading (thus I have to wait a second for the rollover/image swap to happen on the first time, making the menu look buggy).
I'm pretty sure it's not a path issue (I think all my pathing there is right), must be something else going on with the JS or something. Not sure if SS is effecting it somehow.
Any help would be great
