Hey Dimas, I just added an issue at Github. Could you please see if we can fix it? It might be a pull request but it didn’t allow me to so an issue logged.

@Bob, imgpreload keeps things simple and does what you tell it to do … however if an image is already preloaded, it will be fetched form browse cache vs loading new (you should not be taxed twice for the same image url).

I’ll be checking the source briefly, but in the meantime, I’m wondering if there’s any mechanism to prevent images from being preloaded multiple times. Or is that something I need to worry about, and imgpreload doesn’t care?

Great plugin, exactly what I was looking for.

Hi, thanks for your code!
I’m preloading 275 imgs (10mb at least) and use the below code.
It seems that it is loading several images before firing the write_debugger(); function.
The first images ar loaded by filename, the bigger part by dom reference
Is this ok or i’m missing someting?

$(document).ready(function(){

// images preload
$.imgpreload(‘config_files/images/loadingAnimation.gif’,function(){
write_debugger(“Loading gif”, “”);
$.imgpreload(‘config_files/images/modello_’+modello+’/base.png’,function(){
write_debugger(“Base loaded”, “”);
$.imgpreload(‘config_files/images/modello_’+modello+’/base_v2.png’,function(){
write_debugger(“Base V2 loaded”, “”);

$(‘.immagine_parte img’).imgpreload
({
each: function()
{
write_debugger($(this).attr(“name”), “”)
},
all: function()
{
write_debugger(“Fine!”, “”);

}
});
});
});
});
});

Thanks!
Nicola

@Andrew, I’ve adjusted the plugin (latest is on github) and retested with all version of IE … IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9

Love this plugin..until I realized it fails on SOME systems with IE7. Any way you think you could fix that? The callback for “all” images downloaded fails. It worked for me on my test system, then the client said it didn’t work on theirs (IE7, IE8) unfortunately, so it’s a toughie to fix I’m sure.

Either way, great work. Thanks.

Thanks Dimas, that’s ace. Also, the comment (and fix) from Sojaner regarding replacing:

img.onload = function() { loaded.push(this); …

With

$(img).bind(“load”, null, function() { loaded.push(this); …

This does seem to fix the problem in old versions of IE.

If you could implement the cleanup/destroy method soon i’d be a very happy chap indeed as i’m building a brochure in js using your plugin.

All the best
Julian
