how can I change the way an image loads on a web page? I presume using javascript to do this. I’m looking for a way to have the picture load at a lower resolution and then get “sharper”. As appose to loading downward, if that makes sense. Facebook does this with their “theater” picture pop-up window.

This is actually due to the way that the image is encoded, namely images that are interlaced will have this effect.

Check to see if your image editing utility has this feature, applications such as photoshop definitely will but something as simple as paint won’t.
