Hey,

So i have looked around on google but apparently anything having to do with a preloaded image in javascript means loading the image before it is displayed. Though this is what I need accomplished, I cant seem to figure out how to use a placeholder image (‘loading.gif’) while the image is being loaded. Please help Kirupa ☹

thank you all in advance
