How to preload background image

Using:

body
{
 margin: 0;
 background-image: url('../images/bkgdbase.gif');
 background-color: #ffffff;
 font-family: Verdana, Arial;
 font-size: 8pt;
 color: #336699
}

the background image is loaded by the client at the same time of the text
and others images.

Is there a method to pre-load background image as first and then other
objects?
I found some improvements removing "background-image" from CSS and putting
<body background="image"> in the html.

Using ASP you could add "<% Response.Buffer= true %>" before <html> tag,
but, how can do the same when there is non-ASP capability server?

Thanks in advance,
