Load Order of images using xara

Is there a way to change the load order of the images while I'm creating the web page in xara? There are certain images that I want to load last.

Hi,

Could you confirm which Xara application you are referring to please :)

Xara Xtreme 4

smoke133 - I suspect that you're referring to the order in which images appear on a web page. The order in which images appear on a page is often related to the size (in bytes) of the image - larger images take longer to load.

People don't really design html pages to take account of the loading order of images - the idea is to have the whole page load quickly, so optimising images can be important.

Do you have an example to show?

It's not so much the images that I'm having problems with. I just use the images as placholders. But I need it so it loads last. It is my godaddy logo my scanverify. Sometimes it takes a long time for it to connect to their servers and load my site. I want them to load last so that the rest of my site load first so my customers are not waiting for it to finish loading.

Your site loaded fast for me.

One thing you can do it to preload the images you want to load first. It's not bullet proof but it can help.

John (covoxer) mentioned this tip once.
Add this to the head (modify it to suit of course)

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = JAVASCRIPT>
if (document.images)
{
img1 = new Image();
img2 = new Image();
img3 = new Image();
img4 = new Image();
img5 = new Image();
img6 = new Image();
img7 = new Image();
img8 = new Image();
img9 = new Image();
img10 = new Image();
img1.src = "index.htm_files/44.png";
img2.src = "index.htm_files/46.png";
img3.src = "index.htm_files/48.png";
img4.src = "index.htm_files/44.png";
img5.src = "index.htm_files/10.jpg";
img6.src = "index.htm_files/12.jpg";
img7.src = "index.htm_files/14.jpg";
img8.src = "index.htm_files/16.jpg";
img9.src = "index.htm_files/18.jpg";
img10.src = "index.htm_files/18.jpg"
}
</SCRIPT>

Perhaps you can explain why your electronics site also includes links to pharmaceutical products?

(the links are found in your sites html)

I was trying to use a program to clean up the page that put the links there. They are gone now.

Please confirm they are removed. At present they are still shown in the source of your page.

Also one of your page elements positioning is broken when viewed with Opera
