Is there a way to control the order in which images are loaded when viewing an html page? my background images always load last and I would prefer them to load first.

 

Any ideas?

Not unless you use javascript to control them.

I'm guessing here, but I think background images loads last because they're part of the CSS and the browsers will load the IMG images first as they're part of the content and assumed more important.

what you can do is set up a list of images (in image tags) just after the body opening tag.

 

this (should) cause the images to be loaded in the order called. YOu could just put the background image after the body (and set to disply:none) to make the background load first.
