jQuery/JavaScript to replace broken images

Question

I have a web page that includes a bunch of images. Sometimes the image isn\'t available, so a broken image is displayed in the client\'s browser.

How do I use jQuery

Answer 1

I found this post while looking at this other SO post. Below is a copy of the answer I gave there.

I know this is an old thread, but React has become popular and, perhaps, someone using React will come here looking for an answer to the same problem.

So, if you are using React, you can do something like the below, which was an answer original provided by Ben Alpert of the React team here

getInitialState: function(event) {
    return {image: "http://example.com/primary_image.jpg"};
},
handleError: function(event) {
    this.setState({image: "http://example.com/failover_image.jpg"});
},
render: function() {
    return (
        ;
    );
}
