Name
Image.onerror — the handler invoked when an error occurs during image loading
Availability
JavaScript 1.1
Synopsis
<img ... onerror="handler
" ... >image
.onerror
Description
The onerror
property of an Image object specifies an event handler function that
is invoked when an error occurs during the loading of an image.
The initial value of this property is a function that contains the
JavaScript statements specified by the onerror
attribute of the <img>
tag that defined the
Image object. When an event handler function is defined by an HTML
attribute, it is executed in the scope of
element
rather than in the scope of the
containing window.
In the Netscape 4 event model, the onerror
handler
function is passed an Event object as an argument. In the IE event
model, no argument is passed, but the applicable Event object is
available as the event
property of the Window
object that contains the element
.
