Detect “image corrupt or truncated” in Firefox

Answer 1

I was dumbfounded by this issue today myself. Everything was working fine (the images loaded visually as expected) except that the error kept showing up in Firefox error console - no such errors in IE or Chrome though.

In my case I was plugging an image into a div with innerHtml in an on complete jquery handler. The errors stopped when I preempted the jquery call with:

var image_holder = new Image();
image_holder.src = img_path;//path of image that's going to be plugged in  

It worked for me, but it still makes no sense. I assume it's something to do with timing as this code initiates the image to load before it gets to the code that actually plugs it into the page.
