jQuery Preload Plugin

A jQuery plugin that preloads images.

Description

There are times that we need to preload images to bring better user experience. You will not want your users to wait for 2 seconds when they hover their mouse over the navigation menu before the background image actually appears; or keep them waiting too long when they switch a slideshow. This plugin can also be useful when you want to add more images on the page through a ajax call.
