Hi,

This actually sounds like poor HTML coding...I've never heard of a way to
preload HTML pages (other than pages that have already been viewed and are
stored in the cache).

I think the pages you were viewing were missing many of the height and width
tags in images and/or tables. When the proper parameters are set, then the
browser knows what space to reserve for the images and such so that it
doesn't have to wait to download them all before displaying the text. Without
these parameters set, the browser has to download everything to figure out
the page layout before it can start drawing it. There are some exceptions,
but this is pretty much how it works.

HTH,
Randy
