Q2058 Is there any way I can speed up graphic download on my pages?

You can load a lower resolution image first by specifying a lowsrc attribute. Once this image has load the image specified in the arc attribute will then load. By adding the HEIGHT, WIDTH and ALT attributes to the IMG tag, you can load your page text before the graphics load. This allows the viewer to start reading while the graphics load. Example tag:

<img lowsrc="first.gif" src="second.gif" height="2xx" width="3xx" alt="alternate text">
