Slow loading images, best way to display temporary image? JQuery perhaps?
<p>I am using Google Charts to display charting data in my application. Sometimes Google is slow and the charts will take a while to load. This scenario seems to be a common enough pattern -- so I'm wondering what's a good approach to show a temporary image, while the image is delivered from Google. I have access to jQuery -- and have seen a number of "preloading" plugins. Is this what I need?  </p>

<p>Is the correct term for this scenario/pattern really called "image preloading"?  </p>

<p>I'd love to hear what people use to solve this situation.</p>

<p>thanks</p>
