Javascript image preloading issue in a kiosk on a opera 9.6 browser
<p>I have two question to ask </p>

<p>a)I am having a flicker when i have to load a image for the first time in the opera 9.6 
    browser,So i preloaded the images in the browser using </p>

<pre><code>     image1 = new image();
     image1.src= "path of the image";

But this mitigates the flicker when the image is loaded for the first time,But 
it shows up the image pretty slowly on the consecutive navigation to the page,which was not happening before and then i want to mension the device is a kiosk touch screen application,

  Is there any other way to avoid the flicker when the image is loaded for the first time without slowing up the image load on the consecutive navigation.
</code></pre>

<p>b)Is there a way to remove the preloaded images from the browser cache.</p>
