ir's a simple mixture of dhtml layers and javascript, along with some optional css style sheets to make it look pretty. for those that have dreamweaver, dw will do all of this for you in a few clicks.

their is no actual pre loading involved, being that all the layers are simple html. all the javascript does is tell the browser the respective layer is visible or not using the on mouse over and on click commands.

i hope i didn't come off as a @#$% (insert proffanity), but i did, i appologize. just trying to point out how simple all this really is, once you know what it is.
