Link to stylesheet when page finishes loading

I want to preload some images that are included as backgrounds in an external css file. In order to have all page content loaded and displayed before additional images are preloaded I thought I link to the stylesheet only once the page has loaded. Maybe you can see what I've tried to do: However, it breaks the page somehow. Resulting the page to become blank after loading.

In the header is:

<script type="text/javascript">
function preloadimgs ()
{
document.write('<link href="css/preload_aboutus.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" ></style>');
}
</script>

And then:

<body id="general" onload="preloadimgs()">

What's wrong with my approach?

after the page has finnished loading, document.write() overwrites the page rather than adding to it use something like this instead:

function preloadimgs (){
 var l=document.createElement("link");
 l.rel="stylesheet";
 l.type="text/css";
 l.href="css/preload_aboutus.css";
 document.getElementByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(l);
 }
