    Preload many images

    I have tried several preload scripts found here; plus, some of my own.
    The only thing that works is the unsophisticated loading of those
    tiny images. The download consist of 100+ images amounting to 50+mb;
    and, normally completes in less than 1 minute without preload (using
    DSL). The preload terminates after 6 or 7
    images and seems to time-out in the middle of an image. A reload will
    download a few more, etc. I have used the <body onLoad=function ()>
    approach as well as the
    non-function approach of JS that executes immediately with the page's
    loading.
    Getting the same results with Netscape-7 and IE-6.

    I need to add: The source of the array containing the image
    references is a '.js' file. That doesn't seem pertinent as some of the
    images always load.

    Got any ideas??

          OK. This is a very simple one. For NS4.7 it preloads anywhere from 2
          to all (79). For NS7x it preloaded 7 and on restores it downloaded a
          few more each time. For IE6 it consistently preloads just the last
          image (#79).

          <script src='imageFile. js'></script> // contains the array 'pics'
          <script language='javas cript'><!--
          /*-------------Function to preload images----------------*/

          function doPreload()
          {

          for(loop = 0; loop < pics.length; loop++)
          {
          var an_image = new Image();
          an_image.src = pics[loop];
          }
          }
          /*-------------------------------------------------------------------*/
          //-->
          </script>
          </head>
          <body onLoad=doPreloa d() bgcolor="#004f0 0" text="#ffffff"
          link="#ffffff" vlink="ffffff" alink="ffff48">
