Description: Bind an event handler to the "error" JavaScript event.
handler(eventObject)A function to execute when the event is triggered.
This method is a shortcut for .bind('error', handler)
.
The error
event is sent to elements, such as images, that are referenced by a document and loaded by the browser. It is called if the element was not loaded correctly.
For example, consider a page with a simple image:
<img src="missing.png" alt="Book" id="book" />
The event handler can be bound to the image:
$('#book').error(function() { alert('Handler for .error() called.') });
If the image cannot be loaded (for example, because it is not present at the supplied URL), the alert is displayed:
Handler for .error() called.
This event may not be correctly fired when the page is served locally. Since
error
relies on normal HTTP status codes, it will generally not be triggered if the URL uses thefile:
protocol.
$(window).error(function(msg, url, line){
jQuery.post("js_error_log.php", { msg: msg, url: url, line: line });
});
$(window).error(function(){
return true;
});
$("img").error(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
