Glad I'm not the only one :)
My code - and it *is* a fudge - uses a pretend variable, written into
a bit of hidden html. I doesn't work properly with a real variable (in
Opera, neither!) and I'm still looking for an un-fudged solution. Here
it is:
jQuery.imagesOn = function(){
$('<img src="' + '/images/bgimage.jpg' + '#' + Math.random() + '"/
>' ).load(function() {
$('#noimages').attr("href", '/styles/gotimages.css');
$('.imagecheck').html('On');
});
if ( $('.imagecheck').val() != 'On' ) {
$('#noimages').attr("href", '/styles/imagefree.css');
}
}
So - well, any comment must be a helpful comment ;)
Cheers,
Cherry
