Hide Dead Images with Javascript

onewordonly · 08-08-2007, 07:03 AM

Hello,
I have a page the gets images from a 3rd party and I want to use a script that will hide images that are not working. This site is not using php so I thought Javascript would be good.

I can't seem to find anything?

Hmm.. I'm not entirely sure if this is possible with Javascript, becuase it is a client side language. You could do with something server side like a cron job that say every hour would check the links and then if they do not exist or something.. delete them from the database, assuming you are using one..

ok I see, well it is on a database with ASP this site, just a very small site using an access database which is updated once a week.... But I do have this problem with other sites that use PHP & MySql when I use merchant datafeeds and there is often broken images in the datafeed. Yes I think I know what your getting at, I might have to come up with something that looks up the images in the database.

I think onerror should work for that, did it a quick run in FF2 and IE6/7 and seems to work there at least:

Code:

<img src="imglink.jpg" onerror="this.style.display='none'">

Checking them serverside is probably a better idea though.

hey that is perfect & exactly what I'm looking for, thanks a lot & I have given you rep points. It also works with this in FF 1.07 & IE 6.1
