ive been scouring books and the net for answers to 2 questions and none of them seem to work. i'm tryin to load images into memory before the page displays so my image map at the top will display perfectly, and i have a menu on the right side of the page that i want to set up a seperate set of links for (basically i want to turn off the blur that occurs on all other links) thanks for any help you can give me. my site is @ <a href="http://mysite.verizon.net/newfoundnoise82" target="_blank">mysite.verizon.net/newfoundnoise82.

images will load as fast as they will no matter where they are found in the coding.

well i got rid of the preload thing because it would load super slow even on a fast connection even if it worked but i still have my other question....

how do i set up my menu to have a different set of effects for their link? i basically just want to turn the slight blur off on those links. i figured it was a.link:hover {whatever code} but it appears im wrong my site (http://mysite.verizon.net/newfoundnoise82)

a:hover {color: #CC0000; filter: blur(Strength=100,Direction=90);

Delete the filter: blur...

To pre-load images, go HERE (http://pixelfx.org/tuts/html/imgpreload.html)

well i know i could do that but I want that as the link code for all my links, and try as i might i cant seem to be able to set up the seperate div links for that specific area, and i just am stuck

Try a.other:hover {hover code}. And use <a href="blah.com" class="other"> for your link.
