My site contains some quite large photographs, hence they take a while to download. I have created a small “egg timer” type animated gif and would like to use this as part of a preloader however I have no idea of how to make one! Any help would be much appreciated…
P.S. I don’t want any Flash in this part of my site.

Hey andrewparker,
I have no idea how to create a pre-loader without the use of Flash ☹
Cheers,
Kirupa

a pre loader does exist, and its not FLASH. Its DHTML and can be found at [www.javafile.com](http://www.javafile.com) under the website tools category.

Then why don’t you grab it off of there?
