CSS Preloading of Images

Nakedrobot.com has compiled a demo page of image preloading using CSS. Four methods (placement, height/width, visibility and display. All seem to work. I’m not sure about the need for CSS Image Preloading. Especially since you’ll probably need some javascript it seems to switch the images later.… But the point here is that it can be done. NOTE: It can be done with pure CSS (as in Eric Meyers CSS Menu’s) with the :hover attribute. Browser support is limited, and it would have to be in relation to another object already on the screen (to hover over). But you could avoid Javascript completely on this. (thanks to Stuart Langridge for pointing this out.)
