delay images for display purposes not efficiency using javascript?
<p>I have run into numerous sites that use a delay in loading images one after the other and am wondering how to do the same.</p>

<p>So i have a portfolio  page with a number of images 3 rows of 4, what i want to happen is for the page to load,except for the images in img tags. Once the page has loaded i want images 1 of each row to load then say 0.5 seconds later the next image in the row(s) and so no. I'm going to have a loading gif in each image box prior to the actual image being displayed.</p>

<p>I know its doable but cant seem to find the term for doing this. This is purely for looks as it is a design site.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
