Unfortunately, no. You can't tell whether a .load will fail until it
does fail, and that's true of any asynchronous method. You can't say
if it's failed or just not succeeded yet. All you can do is set a time
limit and check if you've succeeded in that time and if not, assume
you've failed. That's why $.ajax has timeout and error options.
In your example, you can do
var timeout = 1000; // milliseconds
var success = false;
$(animage).load(function(){
success=true;
do_success_things();
});
setTimeout(function(){
if (!success) do_fail_things();
},
timeout
);
I haven't found any way of directly asking the browser if images are
enabled, so I think you're stuck with this.
