Hi,

I am using a number of galleries which do Javascript or Jquery formatting of the images on an unordered list of image links.

On a slow connection like we have here in South Africa is there a way of switching off this untidy display until the images are displayed properly.

I also need this for other elements on a page that loads slowly.

Thanks
Andre

Perhaps you could try wrapping all of the "untidy" content in a div that has CSS to display:none or set to invisible. Then, at the end of your javascript/jQuery, make it visible?

Thanks that was one way I found but being a character 4gl coder historically I am having trouble with where exactly to put a script to do that as I am using UMG and EasyDNNGalleries to display the images.

If I have a div called wrapper and set the display to none at which point should I unset this.

Can it go in the Page Header or is that too early?

I really need some guidance as my clients are losing faith.

Regards

I was thinking of using jQuery's $(document).ready().

You might want to communicate with the UMG and EasyDNNGalleries developers to see if they have any ideas, too.
