Just for reference it doesn't load in Opera either. ^^ I get no notices about incompatable browsers.

Doesn't work for me because I use Opera. I have no intention of getting FireFox either.

Well, in the middle of this topic, I switched my entire format. Now I'm using an older script, but it is not compatible with maxthon or opera.

EDIT: It may not be the best solution, but everyone can still view the images via IE. The image thumbnails won't come up, but you can still click where they are on the screen even though you can't see them and the larger one will. Strange.....I'm working on the problem now.

I've completed the first page of images and have started a second page. I've only started doing snapshots from LBT 12. I'll eventually get all the movies done. This is going to be one big gallery...... :blink:

That means lots of choice for many people.

Average loading time for me is instantaneous, but I tried getting on via my wifi on my laptop and it was a little slow, taking over 4 seconds to load. How fast does the page load for everyone else?

Ya see, what I've done is what is called "pre loading" in javascript. You load all the large images before they come onto your screen, making the large images come up without having to load them line by line. It is efficient, though most likely annoying to dialup users.

It took a couple of seconds to load for me and the "pre-loading" thing works really well.

Yes, that preloading thing is something I just learned in javascript. You don't have to click an image and wait 20 seconds for each large one to come up.....because you load all the images before you are even allowed to view the page in a smaller environment. In essence, you load about 300k for a 1800k image. What it does is index the main points of the image so the large one is much easier and faster to load. Very handy. Too bad it's not supported by many web browsers.

In 6 months or so maybe internet explorer and the other browsers will support that javascript feature, but firefox just leaves all other browsers in the dust when it comes to the newest technology and scripting. -_-
