CSS or Javascript - display fallback text if background image not loaded [duplicate]

Answer 1

This is what I suggested in the duplicate tag:

.iHaveBgImage{
  width:500px;
  height:200px;
  background-image: url('http://www.menucool.com/slider/jsImgSlider/images/image-slider-5.jpg');
  }

Alternative using span tags:

span.image:before{
  content:" "; background:url('http://www.menucool.com/slider/jsImgSlider/images/image-slider-5.jpg');
  display: block;
  position:absolute;
  width:500px;
  height:200px;
}

  alternate text
