I'm helping to develop a site that displays high resolution images efficiently by using image tiles (similar to the way that google maps works.) e.g.

http://www.nextlook.com/public/142/3/photo.shtml?idx=3&of=7

Every modern browser that I've tried is ok except firefox. When firefox it's waiting for an image tile to load it displays a placeholder. This is especially annoying on my site because sometimes (depending on the window size and image size) after I've loaded the initial set of image tiles, I want to invisibly overlay another higher resolution set of tiles.

I noticed that there used to be a "SUPPRESS" image attribute in html but it was deprecated and eventually dropped.

Can I suppress the placeholders with CSS ? Or some other way ? (I obviously can't change the user's browser setting.)

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the MozillaZine "Web Development/Standards Evangelism" forum.

The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
