I am using a jquery based slideshow with total 38 images.

Since I removed any controls from the Slideshow and know the transient between slides. thereby able to predict when the images need to be available for the sideshow (of course connection speed/bandwidth is another factor) I would like to use YUI 3 ImageLoader to load the Sldeshow images in a delayed sequence. That way saving bandwith and speeding the initial page load.

tested ImageLoader and it is is working fine. however and in order to prevent the entire Slideshow picture gallery to be downloaded initially it is necessary to remove the src attribute from the elements inside the Slideshow container, else first all pictures are getting downloaded with the initial page load and then again in the delayed time sequence by ImageLoader, negating the idea of saving bandwith. yet the slideshow depends on the on the src attribute inside the html elements, if removed it causes an error.

hence the question whether and if so how it would be possible to parse the src attribute back from ImageLoader to the slideshow.

or if there is another idea/solution instead YUI ImageLoader?

any sound help/advise would be much appreciated.
