Anyone know of decent jQuery based preloaders? The only one I can find which is a full preloader, and not simply for images is called queryloader but it doesn't seem to behave the same way in all browsers so I'm hoping to find an alternative.
If it's not built with jQuery, I'll still look at other options.

I'm sure I'm being massively oversimplistic with this response, and I apologise if I insult your intelligence with it, but — have you searched for 'lazy loaders' and such? They tend to deal more specifically with images and media content..

wasn't the point of HTML/JS approach to not use preloader :) that's what everyone has been whining about with Flash..
but I digress

Well, I know that using a full preloader isn't ideal but it's to hide rather than fix another issue really.
I have a fairly image heavy site but browsers don't seem to load the images very elegantly, despite it all validating and stuff.
It looks like a mess then snaps into place when everything loaded. It's probably due to other jquery scripts I'm using or something...
- try a lazy loading pattern as detritus suggested. Might want to read an article or two on optimizing page loads too.fugged
