Our big page is a bit of a unqiue entity in that it loads a few big images,
and many more small ones. (This was the best way to achieve the ePosters in
the shop windows, and have them automatically updatable.) There are also
swf sounds, iframes, google map, etc.
Therefore it is preferable to just preload the entire page, rather than
specify all the seperate elements *of* that same page, so...

Would you be kind enough to show us the correct code for this? Remember
first though, it needs to solve the original problem of this thread, namely
that our hidden div with the iframe containing the big page messes around
with the cursor and form entry whilst it is preloading into the cache.

Again, would you be able to show us the correct code for this? Remember...
:)

I suspect this may be the best and least interfering option. I assume
pop-up blockers don't mind this. Would you be able to show us the correct
code for this? Remember first though... :D
