Avoid putting an inline script between a stylesheet and any other resource. When IE encounters a stylesheet followed by an inline script it won't download anything else in parallel. This is moot in Firefox because stylesheets block parallel downloads regardless of the presence of inline scripts.<HTML>
<HEAD>
- external stylesheet
on domain1 with a 1 second delay using HTML tags
</HEAD>
<BODY>
- inline script block
using HTML tags
- image
on domain2 with a 1 second delay using HTML tags
- inline script block
using HTML tags
- image
on domain3 with a 1 second delay using HTML tags
</BODY>
</HTML>
