The main solution out there is:
\"Just throw a loading screen up until the page is loaded\".
But my goal is to build pages that pres
Not clear if you solved that already: For regular images putting another
above it (display: inline-block; visibility: hidden;) and listening to the onload of the high-res image will work:
$("high-res").load(function() {
$(this).css({visibility: "hidden", opacity: 0}).fadeIn("slow");
}
EDIT: The other way around (putting the high-res behind the low-res and then fading out the low-res) also works. But you wont get around overlaying stuff.
Fading in CSS background-images is impossible. They have no opacity value. The only thing you can do is put the contents in a and fading that in the same way.
