[RESOLVED] Selecting 2 images locations

[jamjam]

Hi

Quick question!

Is it possible to specify 2 locations for an image in html?

So that if the "primary" image location is not available a "back-up" image can be used.

A bit like how you are able to specify an alternative text when the image is not available.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Using strictly HTML only? No, it's not possible.

You could use some Javascript that loads the image and attaches a function to the image object's onerror handler that would then load the backup image, but unless you're familiar with Javascript that might be a little tricky to do.

Here is a page that talks about using Javascript to check if an image loaded without errors.

Hi

Thanks for the suggestion, however that option seems too complicated and I don't have much experience of javascript. So will stick to the one image.
