How to force images to load in a certain order?

I have a hero section in a website that has a background image with 2 images that overlay. These two images slide back to the sides like a curtain. My problem is the background image loads before the two overlay images. Is there any way I can force these 3 images to load in a set order?
TIA
I don't think you can do this through pure HTML/CSS, but you can omit src attributes in your HTML and add them in with Javascript in whatever order you want when the page loads.
Check out this answer for more details. To set the background image you'll have to set the 'background-image' CSS property instead of setting the src attribute: Controlling image load order in HTML

Try a HTML5 and jquery preloader... Its a good jquery plugin for your requirement...

One of the possible ways is to load parts of your website asynchronously. E.g. if you need to load some text and image, first thing you need to do is to specify how many percents should this resource take:
text - 15%
image - 85%
Then after loading text you can animate width of progress bar to 15%, and trigger loading of image. After loading image you can animate width of progress bar to 100% and show whole content.

Best way to preload images when unhover state is text?

I am aware that using CSS sprites is the way to go when you use images for both states, but what about when you have text as the unhovered state & an image on hover?
There a few ways I can think of, but wondering which method is the best in peoples opinions?
I can think of doing it via JavaScript or loading it via a hidden CSS element.
Are you using CSS Sprites for other relevant images on your website?
If not, then you should do it.
Have your "other relevant images" and "menu images" in the same sprite image.
Even if it's just for one other image, it will mean your :hover menu images are automatically preloaded.
You can use the same sprite, just set the sprite to a transparent section, or background-position out of the button, and when in hover, set it to the right place and text-indent the text, if the button image has the text on it.
Most browsers won't preload hidden images.

Fading in background image with jQuery

How would you fade in a background image (the body tag, and it is tiled) with jQuery? The background color is white and in a callback function I want to toggle the background image to on and off.
Any ideas?
Using jQuery for Background Image Animations
Unfortunately you can't really fade in a tiled background image. Since the image is part of the CSS rendering system it doesn't have a node in the DOM.
You can do some fancy stuff by using a frame type animation by moving the position of the background image but this wouldn't work with:
A. a whole body background
B. a tiled image.
