[FIXED] Home / Chat / Forum nav

[Andrew111888]

You should probably use some javascript to preload the images as they blink for a second before the mouseover image loads.


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
preload_images('images/smoothblue/nav_chat_on.gif', 'images/smoothblue/nav_home_on.gif', 'images/smoothblue/nav_forum_on.gif');
-->
</script>


I don't think it's necessary, but I preload the images that the mouseover replaces as well (non _on images).

Yep I noticed this too :) It's dead easy to do too.

Use this Stefan:

erm, nothing is blinking for me???

[Dean C]

It doesn't blink, it's just the images are not actually preloaded :)

[Xenon]

Andrew said they blink.?

[Dean C]

Well it definately doesn't blink for me. I think he meant you just have to wait a little before it shows up which isn't a true rollover :)

[Andrew111888]

Yeah, that's what I meant.

[Logikos]

Either way, its there and work for all browsers. So it takes 0.24 mila secs. We can deal with it.

No problem, access mask is set :)

[Dean C]

I'll catch you on IM later Stefan and walk you through it :)

[Xenon]

life's hard, isn't it ^^

ok, i think i found a way now.
JS is never good, so let's just use css for it ^^

[Getox]

im on dailup and it takes about 2-4 seconds for me

[Dean C]

Hehe that's not CSS ;) Loads quickly for me now anyways Stefan *thumbs up* :D

[Xenon]

Well, using the style option is considered as css, at least by selfhtml.org and i won't interfere with them ;)

Good that this could fix it ^^
