Constructor
new Image(width
,height
);
This constructor creates an off-screen Image object that cannot be
displayed. The width
and
height
arguments are optional. Setting the
src
attribute of the resulting object causes the
browser to preload an image into its cache.
Properties
The Image object defines properties for each of the attributes of the
HTML <img>
element, such as
src
, border
,
width
, height
,
vspace
, and hspace
. In
addition, it defines or provides special behavior for the following
properties:
-
complete
false
if the image is still loading.true
if it has finished loading or if there was an error while loading. Read-only.-
src
A read/write string that specifies the URL of the image to be displayed by the browser. This property simply mirrors the
src
attribute of the<img>
tag, but is detailed here because many important DHTML effects are created by dynamically setting thesrc
property of an Image object, to replace one image with another.
Event Handlers
Image inherits event handlers from Element and also defines the following:
-
onabort
Invoked if the user aborts the download of an image.
-
onerror
Invoked if an error occurs while downloading the image.
-
onload
Invoked when the image successfully finishes loading.
