Image onLoad

Hi there, ijust a quicky:

I was wondering if the following is supported everywhere:
<img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" onLoad="doomething()">

That way i can launch/check a few things before the page has
comleted loading, which is necesary when one uses <body onLoad="">

Hope it's clear.

Thanks!

A Google search found this link:

"The onLoad event is fired when the image is finished being downloaded. "

Perhaps...

"Unfortunately, onLoad is not a very reliable event handler. Netscape
particularly has trouble firing onLoad when the image is malformed in some
way or if the image is loaded from cache instead of freshly downloaded from
the net."

But loading from cache isn't an issue for you, I gather.

No, but thanks for your concern:
I found a nice flash check which i'm using for a site.
It was actually using document.write if flash was enabled.
I tweaked it a little bit, and now it redirects people to a non-flash
landing page, so there is no problem loading it from cache..

Thanks anyway! :)

Have yourself a fine weekend.

What do you want to actually do, if you want to do something after
elements are fully parsed, but before the content is loaded, you can
almost reasonably reliably do it simply by including inline script
after the part you want. You'll want to take normal care that they
are available, but they almost certainly will be.

No need to mess around with unreliable image load methods.

Jim.
