Hi there,

I’m testing out a few techniques for a new project and have come across a stumbling block.

I’m working with images in a simple gallery. I only have access to the image URL’s rather than the files themselves.

I’d like to place those images into a gallery like this (http://sandbox.customstudio.co.uk/property/Blakes-Quay-Gas-Works-Road4), but as you can see when you click a different thumbnail, there’s a delay in the main image changing, presumably because it’s having to download an external image.

Is there a way to make EE download all the images used on the page when it loads, so that I can avoid this awkward delay?

Thanks in advance,

It’s definitely possible by pre-loading the images which can be achieved with a bit of jquery goodness e.g. there are some solutions on this page:
