dumb jquery image preloader

jquery Preloader

The simplest image preloader for jquery I could imagine. It also seems to work.

Usage

Add jquery and jquery.preloader to your html source:

  <script src="../lib/jquery.min.js"></script>
  <script src="../jquery.preloader.js"></script>

When document is ready, call preload on the wrapper you want to preload:

  $(function() {
    $('img').preload({
      each: function() {
        $(this).fadeIn();
      },
      all: function() {
        console.log('preloaded', this.length, 'images');
      }
    });
  })

You can pass an option object which accepts each and all callbacks.

each is executed for every image after its loading is completed. In the callback contextthis is the image element.

all is executed only once all images have been successfully loaded. In the callback context this is the jquery wrapper.

See sample folder for a demo.
