Code for preload

DreamWeaver code is rather bloated

I'm using DreamWeaver but its code for things like an image preload is rather bloated.

Can someone tell me a nice short code to get a button and logo to preload e.g. something in the head tad would be good.

Simple image preload:

<script type="text/javascript">

image01=new Image(111,222)
image02=new Image(33,44)

image01.src="logo.png"
image02.src="button.gif"

//-->
</script>

Is it ok in the head tag?

Yes that works in the head tag. You could actually put it anywhere, but I believe it will start preloading earlier in the head tag. You could make it a function and add it to your onload event in the body tag if you want preload to start after the page loads. That way your page won't wait to finish loading until the preload is done.
