Check if an image is loaded (no errors) with jQuery

Question

I\'m using JavaScript with the jQuery library to manipulate image thumbnails contained in a unordered list. When the image is loaded it does one thing, when an error occurs

Answer 1

This is how I got it to work cross browser using a combination of the methods above (I also needed to insert images dynamically into the dom):

$('#domTarget').html('');

var url = '/some/image/path.png';

$('#domTarget img').load(function(){}).attr('src', url).error(function() {
    if ( isIE ) {
       var thisImg = this;
       setTimeout(function() {
          if ( ! thisImg.complete ) {
             $(thisImg).attr('src', '/web/css/img/picture-broken-url.png');
          }
       },250);
    } else {
       $(this).attr('src', '/web/css/img/picture-broken-url.png');
    }
});

Note: You will need to supply a valid boolean state for the isIE variable.
