Try out this jQuery plugin: http://farinspace.com/jquery-image-preload-plugin/

It allows you to grab img elements using a selector and have it preload them. I'm not sure if the images you want to preload are already in the HTML, if they are you might be interested by this plugin as it allows you to do:

$('#content img').imgpreload(function()
{
    // this = jQuery image object selection
    // callback executes when all images are loaded
});

While still allowing you to manually preload images with file names:

$.imgpreload('/images/a.gif',function()
{
    // this = new image object
    // callback
});
