UPDATE: This question is outdated, please disregard
So.. my idea is to load a full manga/comics at once, with a progress bar included, and make sort of a stream, like:
- My page loads the basic (HTML+CSS+JS) (of course)
- As done, I start loading the imgs(the URLs are stored on JS var) from my server, one a time (or some faster way) so I can make a sort of progress bar.
ALTERNATIVE: Is there a way to load a compresses file with all imgs and uncompress at the browser?ALTERNATIVE: I was also thinking of saving then as strings and then decode, they are mostly .jpg- The images don’t have to show right away, i just need the callback when they are done.
XTML and HTML5 is acceptable
What is the fastest way to load a series of images for my website?
EDIT
Since @Oded comment.. the question is truly what is the best tech for loading images and the user don’t have to wait everytime is turns the ‘page’. Targeting a more similar experience like when you read comics in real life.
EDIT2
As some people helped me realize, I’m looking for a pre-loader on steroids
EDIT3
No css techs will do
If you split large images into smaller parts, they’ll load faster on modern browsers due to pipelining.
