Re: Internet Explorer Preloads Photos, How Do I Stop This?

You just aren't getting it are you? The comments about the text being
converted to an image IS the answer you are seeking.

The reason your page loads differently in FF is that FF loads the image of
your text incrementally. In IE it waits and loads the image all at once
after it has been downloaded to the local computer. Both browsers are
loading the image of your text...not the text. If you want text to load in a
similar way as it does in FF, then you need to avoid converting it to an
image.

And no, I am not an expert web designer. I am just a small business person
like yourself that tries to help people here that want to help themselves.
You apparently aren't part of that group so I won't waste any more time on
you. Find a Dreamweaver group and post your question there and be prepared
to get the same basic answers you are getting here.

Good luck.

David,

Well, I guess it is impossible to get a response to my original question.
I
see no point in continuing to be badgered about website design. If I was
a
medium, large, or even corporate structure, I may be concerned about
search
engines and the ability of webots to read or index my website. To be
honest,
90 to 95% of business in the professional photography business comes from
referrals, not search engines. I have a website to demonstrate my ability
to
take professional level photographs, not the ability to create text for a
webot to read.

After reading Rob's response, it became clear that my post was in the
wrong
place. I have attempted to delete the post, but like my abilities at web
design, this simple issue evades me.

It is clear that you are a web design expert, however, both you and Rob
seem
unable to understand and respond to a request for an answer and not a
critique. Please explain to me how I can either delete the post or move
the
post to a more appropriate location and I will be more than happy to do
so.
Otherwise, please refrain from adding comments that are neither requested
or
helpful in the least.

Well, add my vote to not liking it. It loads way too slowly, it is way
too
wide, and the images need to be optimized for the web. You may know
something about photography, but you are proving that you know little
about
webdesign. Look at the following link:
http://www.ecdillc.com/ecp/Images/ECP_Main_0308.jpg
That is your text in the form of an image. The webots cannot read or
index
the text because there isn't any.

Furthermore you are in a Publisher group. How do you expect to get help
with
a Dreamweaver site here? And when you do find the correct group I suggest
you loose the attitude and be a bit more open to feedback. What is the
point
of having a website if it is as dysfunctional as yours is?

Have a good day.

Rob,

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, I did not ask you to critique
my
website or my website design. What I asked is if there was a way to
stop
Internet Explorer from preloading all of the photos on each of the
webpages
up front, similar to the way it is handled by Firefox. If you are
unable
to
answer the question posed, please do not post a response. I have
already
had
several clients and other professional photographers review the website
and
they all like it.

But you're home page is one giant 1200xwhatever image...this is not
how
to
design a page.
Nothing on your homepage will be visible to search engines because
it's a
giant image of about 344K ...not good.

Plus most viewers are going to hate scrolling left/right to view that
page...after waiting for it to dl....they'll be gone in 10 seconds.
