JQuery image preloader that should work correctly with the hashing mechanism from django-compressor.

preLoadImages.js

function preLoadImages () {
    $.get($('link[rel="stylesheet"]')[0].href, function(data){
        r = /url\(['|"]?(\S+\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png)[^'(]*)['|"]?\)/ig;
        while (match = r.exec(data)){
            var cacheImage = document.createElement('img');
            cacheImage.src = match[1];
        }
   });
}
preLoadImages();
