You don't.

Ask here, get answers here.

Why you shouldn't ask for E-mail responses on Usenet:

So you can teach this insipid technique to others via your HTML "help" page?
I don't think so.

I assume you also used to know usenetiquette but have forgotten. Asking for
private email is not good. Saying "here's my site omg its the greatest!!!1"
when one look reveals that not only is your knowledge out of date but you
are willing to pass this misinformation onto others, is not good either.

Just lurk before posting, that's all.

You are being presumptuous, that MAY not be their website I have said
www.w3schools.com is a great site before, and it's not my site, but I
wish it was

I could be wrong, but that's not the point here, and while we are being
picky that snippet above would have been best presented with the
original post "good stuff", as anyone that reads this post would be like
"Hu where was that said?" so for any of you that have just said it see
the other post

Excerpt: "When a browser sees the file extensions .htm or .html, it will
assume that the file is an HTML page."

Utter rubbish.

Standards-compliant browsers sees a MIME type (servers are generally
configured to send certain MIME for a certain extension, but the MIME
type can be configured in almost any way possible) or text/html (or
applicaition/xml+xhtml for XHTML) to know that it's an HTML file. Even
stupid browsers like MSIE decide based on content, not extension.

actually MSIE is too stupid I created a HTML file with the extension
..foo went into IE got the context menu up, went into properties and the
type said "Not Available", changed the ext to .html went in and it said
Microsoft HTML Document 5.0, so there is some truth in the fact that
some browsers do take the file ext into account, but not when rendering,
mozilla firebird however could not be fooled, obviously

But did your webserver know what MIME type to send for the file?

Actually interesting lol, before I didn't upload it to my web server I
just created the file on my HDD now I have uploaded it different results
have occurred, a html file with the .foo extension renders fine in MSIE
but the type is now "FOO File" lol, not only that but accessing it with
Mozilla Firebird causes the page not to be rendered but rather the HTML
content to be displayed as if it were a text file.

Web server is Apache.

Yup, your server is sending a text/plain MIME type for that file:

Ah well, I didn't set the server up, it's a rented server on which I was
given an account, I will see what the results are with my local server
next time I boot up FreeBSD.

Even

IE decides on content, but not content-type ...

Create a file with

<html>
<body>
<a href="">foo</a>
</body>
</html>

in it, save as 'foo.jpg'. The server delivers it as image/jpeg.
Now guess what IE shows when the file is called ...

[some dude somewhere]

Do you mean preloading images?
That;s a javascript.

And in dreamweaver you can do a hide layer till everythings loaded.

Do a google search for both.
