I need a little help on a script

[Geezer D]

Hi, all.

I have this script on my clients site, to make 2 images preload before they marquee (...I know... but that's what he asked for...

<script>
var myimages=new Array()
function preloadimages(){
for (i=0;i<preloadimages.arguments.length;i++){
myimages[i]=new Image()
myimages[i].src=preloadimages.arguments[i]
}
}
preloadimages("images/banner.gif","images/america.png")
</script>

Problem is, the images are visible as they load up, then just sit there for a half a second, then disappear, and finally the scroll begins.
This happens in Firefox, but it seams to work OK in IE.

I need them to not show until the marquee starts.

Can anyone rewrite it so it does that?

I'm no coder, I just copied that off a tutorial site and added my image URL's, so if anyone could edit that for me and post the edit up here, or give me a different script, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic script so we can check it out.

Please post a link to the site you found this script at.

And is that all the code?

Hi, Nile.
I'm not sure where the code came from, it was a response to someone elses question in some old forum post that came up in a Google search.
That was all of the code. I deleted that script, since it did absolutely nothing in Firefox, and IE7 always displayed the marquee as I needed.

Is the marquee supposed to be in that little grey box below the header? Because I'm not seeeing anything. (Using Chrome)

The intro page, with the big marqueeing picture dropping down and the word 'America' marqueeing in from the left.

I don't think you should actually be using a <marquee> tag, try the text and image crawler.
