Hi, Maybe this is a stupid question... Say i have 1 div with 20 images in it but it set the style properties of it to be hidden and display:none. Do the images in the div only load when i make the div visible or do they load at runtime like everything else ? Thanks alot

Hello,

Even though you can't see the div, it will still be loaded by the browser along with the div content.

As was said they'll all load ... what you might want to do is play with ajax for loading your images.
