Disable browser cache

How to use on your website

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.1/jquery.min.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='imgPreload.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
    $(function(){
        $('img').imgPreload()
    })
</script>
    

Make sure each image to be preloaded has specified width and height attributes, otherwise the spinner will be displaced.
Put the spinner image (spinner.gif) in the same directory as the document, alternatively specify your own spinner/location using the spinner_src option.

Plugin Options

spinner_src – Either a relative path to the spinner or the absolute URL (default: 'spinner.gif')
fake_delay – pretend images take longer to load, value in ms (default: 10)
animation_duration – the duration of the fade in animation, value in ms (default: 1000)

Options Example

$('img').imgPreload({spinner_src: '/img/loader.gif', fake_delay: 100, animation_duration: 200})
