Short version question :
Is there navigator.mozIsLocallyAvailable equivalent function that works on all browsers, or an alternative?
Long version :)
Hi,
Here is my situation :
I want to implement an HtmlHelper extension for asp.net MVC that handle image post-loading easily (using jQuery).
So i render the page with empty image sources with the source specified in the "alt" attribute.
I insert image sources after the "window.onload" event, and it works great.
I did something like this :
$(window).bind('load', function() {
var plImages = $(".postLoad");
plImages.each(function() {
$(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("alt"));
});
});
The problem is : After the first loading, post-loaded images are cached. But if the page takes 10 seconds to load, the cached post-loaded images will be displayed after this 10 seconds.
So i think to specify image sources on the "document.ready" event if the image is cached to display them immediatly.
I found this function : navigator.mozIsLocallyAvailable to check if an image is in the cache. Here is what I've done with jquery :
//specify cached image sources on dom ready
$(document).ready(function() {
var plImages = $(".postLoad");
plImages.each(function() {
var source = $(this).attr("alt")
var disponible = navigator.mozIsLocallyAvailable(source, true);
if (disponible)
$(this).attr("src", source);
});
});
//specify uncached image sources after page loading
$(window).bind('load', function() {
var plImages = $(".postLoad");
plImages.each(function() {
if ($(this).attr("src") == "")
$(this).attr("src", $(this).attr("alt"));
});
});
It works on Mozilla's DOM but it doesn't works on any other one. I tried navigator.isLocallyAvailable : same result.
Is there any alternative?
