Snippets → jQuery

$function($) {
  var cache = [];
  // Arguments are image paths relative to the current page.
  $.preLoadImages = function() {
    var args_len = arguments.length;
    for (var i = args_len; i--;) {
      var cacheImage = document.createElement('img');
      cacheImage.src = arguments[i];
      cache.push(cacheImage);
    }
  }

jQuery.preLoadImages("image1.gif", "/path/to/image2.png");

   I like the Snippets Library idea. But as someone who’s learning (always) it would help if they were fully commented. Yes, to the fully experienced most things are obvious. But what about when you’re lower on the learning? Or just don’t have the wherewithal to dig in a sort something out.
