This gives a more fluid gameplay because you don't have to load them when you are playing. I use the same principle on my website: the most common images on my site are loaded before the main page loads. _________________ Alter your reality...forever.

But that's with IE4. With the introduction of IE5 the channels merged with favourites. _________________ Alter your reality...forever.

You can also use Active Channels (and RSS) to deliever the latest news into the user's bookmarks (and link em to the appropiate news post) Prehaps I (or you) should do a poll on what browser ppl use... :idea: Also i've seen something esle on your site, somehow you've gotten IE to render TITLE as the tooltip on images instead of ALT that is the one usually rendered _________________ StalwartUK Back to top Hyper Joined: 24 Jan 2004 Posts: 1227 Location: Middelburg, The Netherlands Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2004 12:44 am    Post subject: TheEmperorStalwartUK wrote: I assume that the screenshot is from IE4.

I don't like to do that. I use TITLE instead of ALT because only IE displays ALT text as tooltips, and I also like the tooltips working on other browsers like mozilla/opera. _________________ Alter your reality...forever.
