Using Preload to transmit information to the server

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

I’m thinking of using the image preload function to transmit browser information from the client to the server. The ‘SRC’ attribute of the image would simply compose the url of a script with the information as parameters.

Does anyone have example code of this ?

Thanks,
Hre

@KorAug 30.2006 — you may use the [B]onload[/B] event placed inside the img tags, but, uppon my experience:

1. different type of browsers act in different ways

2. images might be interlaced or not, that means the onload might report a finished loading while the picture just started to "add" pixel lines.

In fact... [B]what[/B] type of information you want to send to the server and [B]when[/B]?

@MinHreauthorAug 31.2006 — Basically just a string about containg response time information, sent when onUnload is called. I need to know how to handle this on the server side.

Thanks,
