is there an equivalent to the readyState property of an image

[brothercake]

one that works in gecko browsers

Do you mean equivalent and property? I make that mistake too when I am in a hurry and try to type :)

[joh6nn]

images come with onload events, and with complete properties, which return a boolean value, indicating true if they've finished trying to load ( they'll say complete if there was an error, and the file couldn't be found ), and false, if the image is still trying to load.

that any help?

What I wanted was a way to retrieve whether an image has loaded without using its onload event. In IE I can go

imgObj.readyState

which returns a range of properties such as "uninitialized" or "complete".

I was looking for a way of doing the same thing in gecko

[chrismiceli]

<img src="test.jpg" onAbort="alert('why did you stop it')" onError="alert('there was an error')">

is that what you want?

There is a "complete" boolean-value property of the HTMLImageElement interface.
