Re: Javascript Style Properties for Dynamic Images in Safari

Thanks. Actually, in the first version of my application I did use
document.createElement('img') statements. But, I read somewhere that if I
had many images I planned to swap out dynamically I could improve
performance by pre-caching from the server to the client with new Image()
calls. I guess this is not an option if I intend to support Safari browsers.

Trying to maintain cross browser compatibility is an extreme pain.

Thanks again.
