Hi

Does anyone know of a way in which to control the order in which images on a page are loaded by a browser, or is this always down to the browser settings?

Thanks

you could achieve that by using javascript, but it will deftinely make your page load too slow :( and it's a little tricky to do. This is not a cardinal rule, but for logical reasons the browser displays the smaller images first, so you maybe could try some "controlled load" by increasing / decreasing the size of your graphics to make some of them load faster than the others. Of course, this will work if you have few images.

im sure you can do this using css, you can use the z-index function to set the load order of your <div>s

punt over to css forum!
