hide broken images

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 22.2009

Hi,

I have a problem that my website uses a template where a page can display up to 6 images. Some of the pages for example only show 2, some up to 6. It depends on the content of each page. My problem is that if the page only shows two pictures, then 4 broken images will show up in there place. How would i go about hiding these with java script??

thanks

@mityaJun 22.2009 — To my knowledge JS has no way of checking the integrity of paths, including image src paths.

PHP and other server-side languages do.

[CODE]if (file_exists($path))
echo "<img src='$path'>";
else
echo "something else instead";[/CODE]

@CharlesJun 22.2009 — JavaScript does have a way to check images. Well, two ways actually and I expect that there is some AJAXy third way as well. But JavaScript is way iffy and it's far better to do this server side.

Success!
