in reply to Verify images loaded?

You can't verify it with perl, but i think there are possibilities with client-side methods such as javascript, java or flash, but who wants that... :)

I don't know if it gives the results you want, but you may want to look at those.

    I think JavaScript would be your best bet.

    But what is your reason for not displaying the page until they get loaded? It won't make the page load any faster. People are already used to seeing images load after the page is displayed.

    Agreed. I'll add this: The behavior I witness in my browser is that the browser will load the page, parse it, and then make requests for the images. But even with javascript, I'm not sure that you can prevent the display of the page until all the images are loaded.
