Hello, I just 'launched' my own SNIP which is supposed to be an advanced online portfolio for artists and photographers. One of the main features is the continuous preloading of all the images so that the artwork enlargements are shown instantly.
SNIP is my 'demo' and it seems to be working fined in Mozilla, with IE playing up horribly in one way: there is this lengthy Javascript function (I'm using the good old MM_preloadImages) preloading all the 200-odd photographs of the website. Every page of this website is calling this same function, as I reckoned it would, if the user browsed to another page, simply race through the images already in the cache and continue where it was interrupted. Heartbreakingly, it doesn't in IE - click on a menu item and it will simply wait until all the images have been loaded before moving on.
Can anyone tell me how I can interrupt the execution of that function in IE?
