Safari cacheing all CSS bg images

Sent by Brandon Trepur on 9 December 2003 23:11


I've noticed that Safari will download every background image in a 
stylesheet regardless of whether that background image is used on the page 
you're currently on. This is causing the page to take way longer than need 
be.

There are two reasons I can tell it's loading every image.

1) Safari's status bar will read, "Downloading X of 40 images" even though 
that particular page only uses three of them.

2) Safari's Activity Log will list out every image loaded, including those 
in the stylesheet.

I can't imagine that I'm doing anything wrong in the CSS file. Could this be 
considered a "Feature" of Safari, to cache the CSS's images to speed up 
pages further into site? It seems to do this in every build of Safari.

Thanks,

-B
