I Am Having Some Problems With My Preload Images Script!!

[GoldFire]

I am using the below preload images script and It seems to not be working...

<script>
function doPreload()
{

   var the_images = new Array('/images/pd2.gif','/images/explore2.gif',
   '/images/games2.gif','/images/shops2.gif','/images/chat2.gif',
   '/images/mail2.gif','/images/help2.gif','/images/login2.gif',
   '/images/logout2.gif');
   preloadImages(the_images);
}

function preloadImages(the_images_array) {

   for(var loop = 0; loop < the_images_array.length; loop++)
    
   {
     var an_image = new Image();
    an_image.src = the_images_array[loop];
   }
}
</script>

I'm not positive, but I don't think you can put linebreaks in an array declaration unless you use the literal notation. I also made a couple changes....

<script>

function doPreload() {
	var imgRoot = "/images/";
	var the_images = [
		'pd2.gif',
		'explore2.gif',
		'games2.gif',
		'shops2.gif',
		'chat2.gif',
		'mail2.gif',
		'help2.gif',
		'login2.gif',
		'logout2.gif'
		];
	preloadImages(the_images, imgRoot);
	}

function preloadImages(arrImages, root) {
	for(var i = 0; i < arrImages.length; i++) {
		var img = new Image();
		img.src = root + arrImages[i];
		}
	}
	
</script>

Using shorter variable names whenever possible is a good idea with JS. And, concatenating the root to each images at the time of src assignment saves variable space in the array, not to mention the time you spend re-typing or copy/pasting
