Emulating progressive image loading for IE using Javascript

[Chris Jakeman]

Hi,

Internet Explorer doesn't load JPGs progressively. I need to show a
large graphic (100KB) on dial-up lines, so I searched for a way to
emulate progressive loading of images.

Couldn't find anything, so I've written my own, with bands of low-res
image being loaded and then overwritten with high-res. Have I been
re-inventing the wheel?

You could also just slice up the image to several files. The disadvantage of
that method is that you don't have control over the sequence of loading.
