Broken image detection

[Renkrad]

Is there any way to check if the image refered by the img tag was successfully loaded?

Thanx,

Yep,

you can use onImgError or something like that, and run a little javascript function to replace the broken image with a default one. I've used it on the front page of a site i've worked on freefivers.com so look at the code on there.

Let me know if you need any help intergrating it.

Thanx Tom. It's the onerror event.

Here's a code example.:mrgreen:
[code:w5dcbwmmsg]
<img (...) onError="alert('Image failed to load.')"/>
[/code:w5dcbwmmsg]

Though there is a small problem, in some versions of the firefox this event won't start.:x Have anyone created an alternative script to check if the image took to much time to load and as a consequence target it as fail.
