Hi I was wondering if there was any way to make my background load first on my website as the other parts of the page are being displayed before the background! This doesn't look attractive so was wondering if i can make the background.jpg load first?! It is only 90KB so its not a major size?! Many thanks in advance for all help!!
you might want to reconsider your concept of "not a major size". 90kB is a twenty second download on a dialup connection. Even on broadband, there is a noticeable wait for an image of that size. A good rule of thumb is to keep your entry page to less than 50kB total. cheers, gary
Try to insert it into your page right after the <BODY>, substitute "yourBG.jpg" with your background filename: <div style="visibility: hidden"> <img src="yourBG.jpg" width="1" height="1" /> </div> HTML: And I think your background is quite large, you must optimize it for faster loading. Different browsers can download page components in different orders, you can't control this behaviour.
Yes sorry it was quite a large file!! I've just chose to use a simple colour background rather than picture, and it loads much faster. Many thanks for your help!!
