How to get background image to load last?

[kapow]

I'm working on a site that requires a large background image. Is it possible to get the page content to load first and then have the background image load?

You could write a javascript, place it at the end of the page and make it load bg image.

how does a javascript load a bg image?

body.style.background-image="/image.jpg"

just a guess

Close killroy

onload = function() {
document.body.style.background = 'url(my.jpg)'
document.body.style.backgroundRepeat = 'no-repeat'
document.body.style.backgroundPosition = 'center center'
}

Notice that everything is the same as in CSS except multiple word properties use capital letters on words other than the first and the "-" is removed.

Also, you can combine styles in one declaration the same way that you would in CSS.
