I'm working on a site with a lot of images and it would be helpful to preload them. Scripting a status bar isn't a problem; my main setback lies with preloading the images themselves:

1. How do I tell the browser to preload a specific image
2. How does the browser tell me that the image has been loaded. Is there some sort of a callback?

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Preloading is easy, create an Image object and set the src property to the URL of the image. Google it and you'll find a million tutorials. As for the second, set the onload handler of the image object.
