Re: Does webpage loading also load unused images from the CSS?

[Chris Coyier]

I think the question is :

Code:

#div-on-current-page {
background: url(image.jpg);
}

#div-NOT-on-current-page {
background: url(image-different.jpg);
}

So for the current page, will it load image-differnet.jpg, or not? Indeed it is an interesting question. I’m fairly sure it does NOT load the image if it doesn’t need it.
