Dead Image

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 13.2007

I have a script that displays images in a directory, when it tries to call an image that doesnt exist it replaces the image with ‘NoImage.gif’ which is a 1×1 clear pixel.

I can’t help but feel I am doing this shotty. Is there a way to just have not display anything onerror?

[CODE]document.writeln(‘<img src =”‘ + strURL +
‘” onError=”this.src=’NoImage.gif’;” border=”0″>’);[/CODE]

[CODE]document.writeln('<img src ="' + strURL +
'" onError="this.src='NoImage.gif';" border="0">');[/CODE][/QUOTE]You could try hiding the placeholder:[CODE]document.writeln('<img src ="' + strURL +
'" onerror="this.style.visibility='hidden'" border="0">');[/CODE]
To prevent the page layout distorting, you may want to specify width and height.

Whenever you do try to load an alternative image, the first statement in the onerror handler should be:[CODE]this.onerror=null;[/CODE]

Success!
