[jQuery] Getting width of broken image?

[Andy Matthews]

I'm loading in a batch of images dynamically. Some of the images might not
exist and I'm wondering how I might test for that image using jQuery
(1.2.6). All I really want to do is to remove that img from the DOM so that
it doesn't show on the page.

I thought at first it would be simple enough to test the width of the image.
All the valid images should be around 600 pixels wide, whereas the broken
image should be 30 or so.

I tried this:

${'img').each(function(){
        alert( $(this).width() );
});

But I got 0 for both a valid, and invalid, image. Anyone have any ideas?
