Preload menu image back / sample needed ...

Hi awhile ago I wrote here and since lost where it went,

However, we have a center justified website and using the menu code at top of page right after /head to call up additional menu files/info.

QA? It was suggested that since menu images (as compressed as they are, be preloaded) using a files we were givin from here called: preloadmenuimages.js

1 - We regret we not 100% sure where or what code (conext) to use.

2 - Within the preloadmenuimages.js file, how (context) do we preload the image(s) ..

Actual sample needed.

FYI, here is our supporting for each:

#1: [[ DO WE ADD line to call preload.js within here? ]]

<!-- ==MENU== -->
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="menusrc.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=menuprog.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=menudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="menu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<!-- ==MENU== -->


#2: [[ The preload.js text / what would a line to preload image look like? ]]

It gets loaded after the menu_data.js file



You don't need to put anything into the module if that's what you are asking. You just have to make sure it is called after the menu_data.js file is called. The preloadmenuimages.js file works with the program, it reads the images from that.
