"please wait" whilst loading

[domuk]

Hi all,

I have recently produced an animated GIF as the input animation to a site and was wondering if there was a way in JS of pre downloading it to the persons computer and only then playing it

It looks slow and i wanted a flashing "please wait" whilst this was loading.

Your help would be very much appreciated (as ever),

Dom..

There are a couple of Pre-load image scripts with progress bar at this link that might help:
