    determine whether the image file is loaded

    Hi all
    I have trouble with tracking whether my image file is loaded.
    i use DHTML to change my image. HERE is the code:
    <img name="someimage " src="1.jpg"
    onclick="docume nt.all.someimag e.src='someimag e.jpg">
    but how can i determine whether "someimage. jpg" is loaded? and can i get the
    download percent of a file?
    Thanks in advance

      Utterly broken in my Mozilla. That would explain why the code wasn't posted
      here.

        I used ie DOM, seeing its a sample,

        you can see the code by choosing view code

          My IE 6 had issues with this page. Maybe it's because there's not much
          valid HTML here. Run it through the HTML validator on w3.org to get some
          pointers on how to fix the document.

          The validator turned up 12 errors after I forced it to use a basic character
          encoding and document type.

          The biggest problem with this example is that the event you're depending on
          (ONREADYSTATECH ANGE) does not exist in anything but IE. When learning by
          example, it makes learning a challenge when the example is not exemplary of
          anything practical.

          ***

          To help the OP, there is no way to get the percentage of a loaded image.
          However, if you are dynamically changing images with JavaScript, you should
          cache all the images to the browser so the change appears instantly instead
          of waiting for the new image to download.

          To pre-cache an image in JavaScript, create a new Image object and set the
          source to the image that will be displayed:

          ....
          <head>
          ....
          <script type="text/javascript">
          var some_image1 = new Image().src = 'someimage1.jpg ';
          var some_image2 = new Image().src = 'someimage2.jpg ';
          function toggle(image_na me) {
          imref = document[image_name];
          if(imref.src == 'someimage1.jpg ') { imref.src = 'someimage2.jpg '; }
          else { imref.src = 'someimage1.jpg '; }
          }
          </script>
          </head>
          <body>
          <img src="someimage1 .jpg" alt="Some Image" name="im"
          onmouseover="to ggle('im');"
          onmouseout="tog gle('im');" />
          </body>
          ....

          The script in the "head" of the document will make sure that all the images
          are loaded into the browser's cache before moving on to the next section.
          One way to allow the page to appear to load faster is to delay loading
          images until the HTML is fully rendered by setting the "onload" event in the
          "body" tag to call a function that creates all the new image objects and
          loads the graphics. After all the "dynamic" images are loaded in the
          browser, a mouseover or mouseout will be displayed instantly with no delay
          in load time for the images. You may notice that the object references are
          never used. So far, the most important use of the Image object is to help a
          browser cache an image. That is why the code just sets and resets the "src"
          attribute of the image tag in question.

          For your purposes, you may also find the "onload" event useful. This event
          is fired as soon as the browser has loaded an entire image:

          <img src="someimage. jpg" alt="Some Image" onload="image_i s_ready();" />

          HTH,
          Zac

            run Microsoft.com thought it you idiot,

            if you have any issues with the page you have a problem with your computer.

            I'm calling you a liar, there is no issues with the page it is a simple
            event firing a alert, stop lying

              I agree that it runs in my IE, but that does not change that it is
              incorrect HTML (or that microsoft.com is bad HTML: It claims to be
              text/html but uses XHTML end-tags (<meta ... />), and even uses the
              old proprietary Netscape tag <layer>).

              Your attitude is counterproducti ve.

              It might work, but the page's code is horrible by any recent HTML
              standard. There is even HTML code after </html>, which makes no sense.

              It is not a good example.

                Yes you are right,

                But i dont think he was trying to be productive. And i think he is lying

                HTML standard for what browser?

                I was writing it for IE, it is as Microsoft the makers of IE do it.

                Any page that passes the WW3 validator is not optimised for IE or Netscape.

                both Netscape and IE advise you to do things different,

                So what browser is the validator helping you code for?

                  lying? liars? Oh, so I have problems with my computer because you can't write
                  decent HTML and not even semi-decent script? Interesting concept.

                    No not at all.

                    but seeing the script works fine for others yes you must have something
                    wrong or you are lying

                    either way I have better things to do, I see this group is your life, but it
                    isn't mine

                    any further attempt to contact me will be seen as a stalking problem of
                    yours

                    you are dismissed

                      Not at all, that's completely bogus logic, maybe you should take an
                      elementary course in logic aswell as elementary courses in javascript.

                      It's a shame you don't actually listen to what you're told. There are
                      many good reasons to ignore the W3's validator and to produce invalid
                      code - incompetence is not one of them. nor is needing to "optimise
                      for IE or netscape" If you wish to discuss the genuine sound reasons
                      to, I think you first need to demonstrate you actually understand it.

                      Jim.

                        Mosley,

                        Let me be the first to sincerely apologize for any miscommunicatio n on
                        either of our parts. That being said, you're going about your
                        counterargument all wrong. If you're going to refute someone's claims, you
                        need evidence. Calling me a "liar" does nothing to validate your point.
                        Let me explain why I made the comments I made, and maybe you can retort with
                        something slightly more sophisticated than "liar."

                        First, helping someone with their problem is commendable. I applaud you for
                        investing your time and effort into giving someone else a chance to become a
                        better developer because of your experience. However, I felt it necessary
                        to point out that your example is not what I would call a "viable solution."
                        While your example may work fine in your browser, it didn't work exactly as
                        you claimed in any one of my browsers (including IE 6). Yes, there is the
                        possibility that my computer doesn't work--that's always a possibility when
                        I'm running Windows. However, it seems that other people on this group are
                        also experiencing similar difficulties when trying to view your page.

                        Using a highly proprietary method of solving a problem makes your solution
                        limited to a small group of people. If you were assuming that the people
                        visiting Donjuan's web site will only be using MS IE 6 with Visual Studio 6
                        browser enhancements, then we can call this discussion over. However, if
                        maybe you wanted to help educate Donjuan by describing a method that can be
                        applied to a broader audience, your goal was not precisely met.

                        Personally, I find it disappointing that people are ever taught how to
                        "optimize" a web page for a particular browser. This sticks developers in a
                        rut that makes it harder to develop for anything but their favorite browser.
                        That's why we hear stuff like "Netscape is so touchy" or "IE is crappy."
                        It's because they think that their toy is the best and using anything else
                        seems silly. The fact of the matter is that we are coming out of the great
                        "Browser Wars." Eventually, all web browsers will adhere to much more
                        similar standards than they are currently. The body responsible for
                        determining these standards (W3C) is helping to prepare web developers by
                        allowing them to make sure their web pages comply with the formal standards.
                        In a few years, web developers will be able to harness a tremendous ability
                        to develop truly cross-capable web applications. When that happens, those
                        of us still droning the "IE is better" mantra will be loosing jobs to those
                        people willing to transcend their personal affinities.

                        Please accept my comments as an attempt to help us all become better members
                        of this online medium. If you want to stick your head in the ground and
                        call me a liar again, go ahead. You can't hurt my feelings. Life is simply
                        too short. My only goal is to help you become a better teacher. Guiding
                        those that come behind us is an important responsibility that can be very
                        rewarding. Try to live up to an example of leadership if you really do have
                        a desire to teach others. If your motives for helping people are
                        self-satisfaction or something besides serving others, this argument will
                        make no impact on you, and I will probably still be called a "liar."

                        I am truly sorry.

                        Thank you, and take care,
                        Zac

                        PS: Throwing the word "liar" around is not something I take lightly. If you
                        become defensive again, I would suggest using some other term. Even
                        something profane carries less weight than attacking someone's integrity.

                          I have tested the page from outside my network and had friends check it,
                          works fine.
