Preloading images on IE7-IE8

I tried two different techniques:

url = 'http://domain.com/image.gif';
$('body').append('<img style="display:none" src="'+url+'" />');

and

image = Image(1,1);
image.src = 'http://domain.com/image.gif';

Images get preloaded in IE6, Chrome 8, Firefox 3.5+

but cannot get these to work in IE8 or IE7

Any ideas?

There's a jQuery plugin to do what you want.

Another way is to do your jQuery image processing only when the whole of the DOM, including the images themselves, has been loaded e.g. instead of

$(window).ready(function(){.....

use

$(window).load(function(){.....

See the documentation.
