I see something like <body onload="Preload Images...
Do you "onload" the preloading of the "big page" as well? Also, the j/s
on the page is very, uh, 'unbalanced' and seems overly-complicated. I'm
sure it could be simplified and made more correct. Also, the page has no
doctype. Does it validate? I suspect not.
