In addition to having your images in the CSS, couldn’t you also put them as the src of inline images in a hidden div? That way, they will load with the other inline images before the event is fired and your CSS is guaranteed to work.

Unless Firefox forgets to check the cache before loading CSS backgrounds.

thanks! very useful info, i have to do this page that loads a very large image, and it loads through css background, so i have this LOADING clip until the image is loaded, and it works really bad in FF, is there any solution on this yet?

They claim this is fixed, but clearly it isn’t. I’ve been scouring google and forums all day for a workaround, and have found nothing.

Having onload fire before the background images are loaded makes my page look broken in firefox:

John Resig (creator of jQuery and Mozilla javascript evangelist) would be the ideal person to ask. ejohn.org / jresig on twitter
