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 am not sure if there is a better way, but I can think of a hack to get it - you could Ajax post to the img URL, and parse the response to see if the image actually came back. If it came back as a 404 or something, then swap out the img. Though I expect this to be quite slow.
