Example
To experiment with the image.complete property, quit and relaunch your
browser before loading Listing 22-2 (in case the images are in memory cache). As
each image loads, click the “Is it loaded yet?” button to see the status of the complete
property for the image object. The value is false until the loading finishes;
then, the value becomes true. The arch image is the bigger of the two image files.
You may have to quit and relaunch your browser between trials to clear the arch
image from the cache (or empty the browser’s memory cache). If you experience
difficulty with this property in your scripts, try adding an onLoad event handler
(even if it is empty, as in Listing 22-2) to your tag.
Listing 22-2: Scripting image.complete
function loadIt(theImage,form) {
form.result.value = “”
document.images[0].src = theImage
}
function checkLoad(form) {
form.result.value = document.images[0].complete
}
