Posted from: 63.119.10.8 43037 1 mail 2010-12-03 22:32:52 +0000 No - the browser needs to make the final decision as to whether to preload the element - not the page author. The browser has a chance of knowing the user's connection speed, and whether it makes sense to preload. The browser has a chance of knowing whether the user's paying per megabyte, and can afford to preload. The page author knows neither of these things. 44070 2 ian 2011-01-11 00:34:56 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
