I've created a web site using photoshop and imageready, I really enjoy using these tools, but when I save my work as "optimized" and then check it on-line, it loads parts at a time and not the entire page all together. It's as if the slices are loading one at a time. Please help, the site works once its loaded, but the loading process is weird.

James,

That is completely normal. It is down to the nature of the http 
protocol, and there is nothing you can do about it for the page you have.

When you enter a URL into the browser address bar, it sends an 
HTTP_REQUEST to the server for that page.

The HTML page arrives at the browser and as the page is processed by the 
browser, it comes across the references to each image. A further 
HTTP_REQUEST is then sent to the server for that image.

Now the http protocol can handle up to 4 simultaneous requests, and some 
images will download to your browser quicker than others, so the order 
in which they arrive at the browser can appear to be totally random. A 
request for image 7 could be sent before image 1 has completed 
downloading, for example.

Fast-loading pages make minimal use of graphics and those that are used 
are optimized to be as small as possible without totally ruining the 
quality. Often a JPEG quality of 4 can be quite sufficient, for example, 
so if it is, don't use a quality of 8.
