i know how to do a pre-loader but is the difference in doing a pre-loader in a html page. do you make a empty loading page then write script?

try this site: www.dynamicdrive.com and you should be able to find something on preloading most of the stuff on the page, so the user only has to load small stuff.

Yeah there is a diffrence, you would have to make a 'fake' preloader, and it will just be timed, like a 10 sec countdown, and hopefully everything will load.

Well, I am not too sure on this but I once read:

When you make a webpage you can know approximate loading time [for example lets say 5 sec], so with that in mind you create your loader.. and the precentage bar will hit 100% in 5 seconds.. by then the page loads in the background, and hopefully it will load..

But remeber the loading times are diffrent with diffrent connections..
