Kirupa XML thumbnail Gallery... preloader for thumbnails?

[woodman650]

Hey all!
I'm getting quite comfortable with the XML thumbnail gallery here on the Kirupa site... but wondered if there was an easy way to have a preloader for the thumbnails? I don't really have an idea how to set up the code for that. thanks!!

Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I'm trying to do the same thing. I want to add preloaders to each thumbnail, based off of the XML thumbnail tutorial. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is far from perfect, but my thread may help you, then if you find out how to stop the thumbnails from stretching - that'd help me...

It's a mix of some code from scotty on here, kirupa as the basis and some other bits.

It may be useful to you anyhow.
