jQuery: Check if image exists

Question

I\'m loading an image path via jQuery $.ajax and before showing the image I\'d like to check if it in fact exists. Can I use the image load/ready event or something similar

Answer 1

Well, you can bind .error() handler...

like this,

$(".myimage").error(function(){
  $(this).hide();
});

well, yours is okay already with load-event

$(".myimage").load(function() {
    $(this).show();
});

the problem with this is if Javascript was disabled the image will not ever show...
