//     Image Preloading Script

//     Timothy Quinn, February 2002

//

//     The following function preloads the images required for rollovers on a given

//     webpage. Note that the preload script and the rollover script have been separated

//     so that different pages can access different preloaded images. The global variable

//     IMAGESPRELOADED is used to prevent a bug in some versions of Netscape Navigator /

//     Communicator which enables an image rollover to be executed before a page's HTML

//     has been entirely drawn on the screen.





var imagesPreloaded = 0;                      // initialize global variable







function preloadGraphics() {                  // preload graphics



  if (document.images && imagesPreloaded < 1) {



  // rollovers
