How can I determine the image src of the image that triggered the event in the onload and onerror event handlers in IE? This example code I threw together:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function loadImages() {
var goodImage = new Image();
var missingImage = new Image();
$(goodImage).bind('load', function(event){
$("#log").append( $(event.target).attr('src') + ' WAS FOUND <br>');
});
$(missingImage).bind('load', function(event){
$("#log").append( $(event.target).attr('src') + ' WAS FOUND <br>' );
});
$(goodImage).bind('error', function(event){
$("#log").append( $(event.target).attr('src') + ' IS MISSING <br>');
});
$(missingImage).bind('error', function(event){
$("#log").append( $(event.target).attr('src') + ' IS MISSING <br>');
});
goodImage.src = 'GOOD-IMAGE.GIF'; // this image exists
missingImage.src = 'MISSING-IMAGE.GIF'; // this image doesn't exist
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="loadImages();">
<div id="log"></div>
works in FF but in IE8 it prints out undefined for the $(event.target).attr('src') part. I thought jQuery was supposed to normalize the event object for IE so that it acted like other browsers? I've tried a number of permutations but haven't been able to get anything to work in IE8.
Anyway if anyone has a suggestion on how to figure out the image src in the onload and onerror event handlers that works in IE I would really appreciate it. Or even how to figure out after the images have loaded which have loaded and which haven't (but not graphically - I need to generate an array containing the filenames of the images that didn't load). Thanks!
