Hi, I am working with php. I have images kept in order. When i do query the images comes in order but when they load they does not load in order. The small images load first and then big images. For example I have 5 images. These images should be loaded in order(1,2,3,4,5). But here its not happening. Image 4 loads first, then 2, 1 and so on. So what can i do for this problem? Hope to get solution.
Thanks in advance.
If you are speaking about the order images are displayed by a web browser, you do not have much control over that, as long as you have several <img> tag on your page :
<img> tag encountered will be the first image requested)In the end, if you want absolute control on the order the images are displayed, your initial HTML should probably not contain all the <img> tags : a solution would be to add those, in the right order, when the previous image is downloaded.
This can probably be done with some Jacascript code, to detect when an image is loaded (event "load") ; and when an image is loaded, just add a new <img> tag to the page, for the next one ; and so on.
But I wouldn' go with such an idea : it won't work if JS is disabled, your images will not be seen by search engines, ...
You can control everything on your web server, but nothing on network or browser sides.
A possible solution is to build a single image containing your five images and display each relevant portion to its dedicated position.
Not sure how you would implement this in PHP, but in the past I have usually had the a 'order' field for each image, then the images were added dynamically according to the 'order' field.
As you should have guessed, image is loaded according to their sizes. Ofcourse, the smaller ones will load before the bigger ones. And yeah, as eyze said, wat about you preload them with a javascript preloader and display them in the right order?
