JCarousel inside jquery ui tabs / preloading images
I have one or two questions for the forum.
1) I am using jquery UI tabs and putting in a jcarousel in each of the 4 tabs. The first tab the jcarousel shows up fine. The second, third and 4th tab the jcarousel only show 3 or 4 images on the slider. Anyone have this problem before?
2) I am loading a lot of images on this page. Essentially a GUI to pick attributes for a diploma frame and when these images are clicked on the jcarousel it changes the picture frame images and mattes etc.
The real question: is it better to load all of the images before the page load using jquery (or javascript) before allowing the user to interact with the page. Also what is the best way of achieving this with possibly a loading image (pretty standard in the jquery/ajax realm).
Been doing jquery for about two months but was hoping to find some best case scenarios for this.
Thanks in advance to the forum.
