I currently have a hover effect on the images similar to the example above which doesnt look good when you see both the images loading, so id like the little loading .gif to show first.
Do you have a link to your website showing the problem? I don't really see what your problem is, since the link you provided seem to work just fine. But ofcourse, it might be different on your own webpage.
I did look at that before posting here noahgelman, but i am not sure how i can apply that to an image which is pulled from a post to display on the portfolio page and it is 2 images over each other to get a jquery hover effect on them.
