notice that the throbber stops throbbing and that my net monitor doesn't add
more bytes to the receiving section.

what version of Dreamweaver did you use to create this page?

Comment 2

[Julien]

I use Dreamweaver MX 2004, but the script MM_preloadImages is the same in older
versions.

Comment 3

Seeing the same thing with the test page i made. Independent of HTTP pipelining
settings :-\

Reporter, do you think you're seeing bug 215948?

Comment 4

[Julien]

No, i don't thing the bug is the same than the 215948,
because :
1. it's not a php problem, my sample is a html one
2. not need to refresh to see the problem (a refresh often correct it)

I've some precisions.
The bug is larger than a problem with the 'MM_preloadImages' script.
Firefox have a general problem with rollover images.
I've done this test :
I delete the call of 'MM_preloadImages' in the 'onload' attribute of 'body' :
now when i load my page : no problem.
But, when my cursor pass on a rollover image, the error come back in the status
bar ! 
You can see that at this address : http://izi-web.com/bugzilla/test2.htm

Other indication : if the file is not on a server, if you open the test2htm file
directly from your hard disk(not on a local server), then there is no problem.

(sorry for by bad expression and thanks for your attention)
