[jQuery] css image caching with jquery
Hi again,
Thanks for the help and explanations with the google maps, thats all
working beautifully now.
As my first time out using jquery I've set up a blend effect for the
css background image of the website I am working on however on occasion
the images aren't ready immediately even after theyve been loaded
previously, in moz at least.
I've found this caching plugin [1] however i'm not sure how to
proceed to make it work with css images. My concern is that the images
are large and loading them all every time a page loads will make things
ridiculously slow.... I'm not too well up on how browsers cache css
background images, especially browsers that use tabs. I've tried
appending the images to the body as they are loaded so you can switch
back to them seamlessly however it doesn't seem to work. Only the
current image and previous image seem to be stored.
I'd appreciate any hints or links to the details of how browser
caching works so I can learn something else new today =]
