When a user clicks a "show pictures" option on the CD I'm distributing, about
200 thumbnails have to load before the user can click on one to see the
full-sized image. Only takes about 30-45 seconds, but still seems confusing
for somebody who sees the first few thumbs right away and nothing happens when
they click on one.
I'm guessing that I've just crossed form XHTML into the realm of JavaScript.
True? If not, is there a way to give some notification (like "Loading
thumbnails, please wait...") to the user while the thumbs are loading?
Don't know if I'm ready to go there yet, but if it's a JavaScript thing and I
decide to go for it, my first question would be how does the script know when
all thumbnails have been loaded.
