Question on : image.onload(this.complete)

[oliver gargour]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody knows why :

<img src="beta_solar_node.jpg" border="0" onload="alert(this.complete);">

return "false"

when

image.complete : Boolean value indicating whether the web browser has
completed its attempt to load the image.
image.onload : is invoked when the image has completed loading.

Any ideas??

Thanks

I would guess that the load event (in IE?) is fired before the
complete property value is set. In Firefox 2 it shows true, but then
again, so does:

alert( new Image().complete );


I think that counts as unreliable.
