Hi:
This works on IE but not on Firefox 1.0
any ideas? thanks...

<img src=1.jpg onError='alert()' onLoad='alert()'>

I don't know about FF, but on Moz an alert without at least an empty string specified (alert("");) won't fire an alert box.

True. After getting used to Netscape 4 accepting no argument, it took me a while to work out what was going on in later versions. I needed to be told in the end.

Still. Although onload works all round, I think onerror is only for IE.

Goodman's "Dynamic HTML" describes onerror as being available since NN3 or IE4 and as being part of the DOM 2 standard.

[Bernard Marx]

Well, I guess that should tell us something.

You can make custom error scripts for images, in javascript. Just check that when the body loads, that each of the images has loaded. If it hasn't, execute the functions. I have done this on numerous occasions for local scripts, where .htaccess files are not options.
