Solve : Loading/Progress bar.!?

1.	Solve : Loading/Progress bar.!?
Answer» Will inserting a Loading/Progress bar into a Web-page make any difference to how long the page takes to load. ??Why would you want to do that? Browsers already have their own progress bar. yes.. true, but I read somewhere that if you insert one in your page, images ett load at the same time, whereas sometimes you have to wait for images to load one at a time seperately. I was just wondering if there was any truth in this... Thanks anywayTake a look at this: A Simple Web Progress Bar... or Google for more hits using the search phrase progress bar in web page, or something similar. By the way, is the REAL, underlying issue here that parts of your page SHIFT around before the images finish loading? Quote Take a look at this: A Simple Web Progress Bar... or Google for more hits using the search phrase progress bar in web page, or something similar. By the way, is the real, underlying issue here that parts of your page shift around before the images finish loading? Well no, not my web,.. but yes, that is the issue. .. thanksmmm soybean, that link is very interesting, and I will have a more in depth read of it later,.. but I think I will take the advice of you and a lot of the experts on here.. KEEP IT SIMPLE thanksThis would presumably run in javascript, which places a load on the browser and therefore would slow it down (the browser).thanks guys Talisman, you acknowledged that underlying issue here that parts of your page shift around before the images finish loading? In other words, if you have text on certain parts of the page and one or more images on other parts of the page, the text will appear first since it downloads faster than images and, depending how you created your HTML coding, the text gets pushed around when the images load into the page. If this is so, you can control this by using HEIGHT and width attributes in the appropriate HTML tags. This way, the browser knows that the page layout includes images of certain dimensions and it will reserve SPACE for them even before the images are fully DOWNLOADED. This prevents the shifting around mentioned above.Firstly,.. I do my Web-pages in FrontPage 2002, and not with Notepad HTML, .. I havn't noticed text paragraphs or such moving about,.. but some images load seperately, and Hover buttons seem to take the longest to load. I suppose waiting a few seconds is a small price to pay for a web. :-/
