   Is it possible to have a solid colour behind images while they load?

   Cheers, D.

   You can usually add that in by adding a css entry for images (or make a class for images that get added to your images) and add a background image element. Any decent online css guide will show you how this works.

   Harknell,

   Do you have a reference to "any decent css guide" ?

   Have you tested any of the theories you have posted?

   "You can usually add that in by adding a css entry for images"

   An entry such as?

   Attempting to give the img tag a value in the css of a background-color?

   (or make a class for images that get added to your images) and add a background image element.

   What???

   Make a DIV and give it a background-color to show while the image is loading?

   What did you have in mind?

   In your CSS, whatever class you are using for your images, [usually something like .post img] just add a background colour.

   For example

   .post img {background #cccccc;}
