3) Describe problem:

Hello all,

I use this web site often and it has been very very helpful. I am using the Preload Image (with progress bar) Script II Code

I am building a site that is purely based on images. The image loader is awesome, but I am having one problem. The image loader is on the main/home page. So it works great the first time you access the site, then when you click to another page it works great, but the problem happens when you click the back button to go back or just go back to the main page, it re-loads the images again or every time you go back to the main page.

Is there any way to only have the image loader load the images on the first time that page is accessed or something along those lines?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Hello Vic,

Thank you very much for your help, and I am sorry about the duplicate post. I tried using the new code that you attached, and it is still doing the same thing. Is there any way you can show me exactly where the code changes or what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!
