V00D00: Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Um, if you're still thinking about javascript, you might try an
image preloader . For just those five images, you don't really need a fancy one like I've got, but that link should be adequate... I am understanding that by "slow" you mean it just takes the rollovers a long time to load on the first time. If that's not right, sorry, I guess this is useless to ya.
Heretic- thanks for the suggestion. I'll get that done shortly. (Hopefully.)
