dig this, i need a pre-loader that looks or does the same fuction as this web-site
www.cbsmarketwatch.com
any clues
well unfortunatly i don’t see a preloader, is that the right page?
anyway, in asp the “Response” object has an a buffer attribute. now by buffer i dont mean like real player where there is a loading bar. but what it will do is, wait until the full page is loaded to display anything. i don’t like it personally. mayeb you can have it where is says the word “loading” until the site is laoded, but first off I never used it. i could look it up for you but your server needs to have asp installed.
i jst read a javascript that allows to to preload images before the user goes to the page. meaning when ur at your homepage you can load headers on other pages before they get there.

WELL, IM AM DOING THINGS TO MAKE THE FILE SMALLER BUT!!!1
something came to my attention last night working on my project…should i convert my layers into tables. i thinks since i have layers. there are going to be some loss of balance on certain viewers monitors. what do you think. Man i really wish this site was in flash!!!
well if you are setting the x and y positions with layers, then it will look different at different size resolutions, maybe lock your site at a certain size.
i looked for that before…how would i go about do it? and will that lock on my layers on most resolutions
well you would have to make your browser window not resizable. you would have to have a splash page with opens a browser window, that function is in the behaviors pallett in Dreamweaver, and it gives you the option.
that will lock all layers on all resolutions. this is because your designing your page at a specified width and height. therefor when you position your layers, since your browser is locked they will always be locked as well on the coordinates you specify
you really dont have to do it like that thought. when i make html sites they look fine on any resolution. just make a table and subtables in that one. by splitting colums and rows you could do what you want without locking the size.
this is another option that i have. to convert my layers into tables. when i do it has a check box about something of overlapping layers. so when i do it it says some BS about i have layers over lapping. is there a way to convert overlapping layers or do i have to take them apart?
this is my question…i am trying to convert the layers. everything is going well but!!!its not letting me convert because 3.0 browser are not compatible with nested layers. can i enable that option so that it will be able to convert
just came to me. i refered the site of cbsmarketwatch.com before. there is a ad before the site comes up. i consider that some what of a pre-loader to the site. what is the script or explaination the that effect
