Asynchronous image loading with jQuery
- tophat02 17y agoTwo thoughts immediately rushed through my head: 1) Netscape Navigator did this 15 years ago, although not nearly as cool 2) Why did he just show a screenshot? Couldn't he have given, you know, a link?
- dasil003 17y agoMe too, but then reading what he's doing I realized that this technique could definitely give a page an extra bit of polish that could really make a big subconscious effect on users precisely because it's such an unexplored area. I imagine seeing this done the first time I might think I was looking at a Flash site.
- kwamenum86 17y agoThe page layout might break if you do not set a width and a height. That problem at least can be solved fairly easily.
- jauco 17y agoI haven't tried it but I think you get the same effect by setting the width and height of the image and using a spinner for the background of an enclosing div.

- sphoid 17y agoHello, I'm the post author, the reason I didn't give a link was because the site shown was a closed beta. It is open to the public now so check it out at http://community.wacom.com http://community.wacom.com
