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

(window.jQuery || window.Zepto).fn.fallback = function (fallback) {
  return this.one('error', function () {
    var self = this;
    this.src = (fallback || 'http://lorempixel.com/$width/$height').replace(
      /\$(\w+)/g, function (m, t) { return self[t] || ''; }
    );
  });
};
    

You can pass a placeholder path and acces in it all properties from the failed image object via $*:

$('img').fallback('http://dummyimage.com/$widthx$height&text=$src');
