I have a web page that includes a bunch of images. Sometimes the image isn't available, so a broken image is displayed in the client's browser.
How do I use jQuery to get the set of images, filter it to broken images then replace the src?
--I thought it would be easier to do this with jQuery, but it turned out much easier to just use a pure JavaScript solution, that is, the one provided by Prestaul.
Handle the onError
event for the image to reassign its source using JavaScript:
function imgError(image) {
image.onerror = "";
image.src = "/images/noimage.gif";
return true;
}
<img src="image.png" onerror="imgError(this);"/>
Or without a JavaScript function:
<img src="image.png" onError="this.onerror=null;this.src='/images/noimage.gif';" />
The following compatibility table lists the browsers that support the error facility:
