forced loading order of page

[realarmour]

Is it possible to force the order that objects are loaded when your website is viewed? I have a picture heavy page which I would like to load top down. Is there a way to specify which objects are loaded first when your page is accessed? If so can anyone share how is this done?

Page will load in the order you insert them. If your page is heavy on images, use PixResizer and read Collector's posts; save a lot of time not having to redo things later.

If you have many, you can also find something on Google somewhere - a code - that loads all the images on your site while the user is still at the other page so if they do click the other page its all loaded.

When you right click on objects, you can click onMove to front or Move to BAck. This defines the order. Back is first.

Just like a Proverb: the first shall be last, and the last shall become first....

The last element added to your BV page will be the first to load, which is why long ago it was recommended you add your page heads last (even if you had to copy them from other pages after whatever work you have done on a page), so they load first and foremost for visitors to see when they arrive on each page.....

Back is First. But only because BV puts the element that you send back, to the START of the page code and viceversa.

What you add last will appear last, unless you change its order.

Sometimes, some elements are (due to their size in bytes) slower to download, and may appear last even if in the code order are first. In example, the browser recieves the code and starts executing. It finds an image, and starts downloading it. In the mean time, it sees that there is (as example) a table, and it designs the table on the screen. Since designing a table which is only a few bytes, is much faster than downloading an image of say 20 - 30 Kb, the table will appear first.

Machines execute code in the order they recieve it. First is First.
