include files causing problem

slow loading images

[Scally_Ally]

Hi there,

I have a site that uses include files for the graphics of the header and footer of the site. Part of the site pulls in about 60 thumbnail images onto a page for the user to choose which page to go to.

The problem is that when the include files are within the page, the browser waits for all the images to be loaded before showing them (this can be anywhere up to 40 seconds). When the include files are not on the page the images are shown as and when they are loaded in.

Is there a way to use these include files and still have the images displaying when they are loaded in?

This only happens in IE, in all other browsers it is ok.

Thanks

Ally

Have sorted the problem out..

I saved the include files as .inc and for some reason this had an adverse effect. Resaved them as .htm and all was good.

Hope this helps anyone who has the same problem
