I use the following code to refresh an image in the browser. I just want to modify the code in order to first check if the image exists and then display the image. If the image does not exist I will only refresh the image to the previous version of the picture. Can someone point me how to accomplish this using javascript or jquery?
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function refreshIt(element) {
setTimeout(function() {
element.src = element.src.split('?')[0] + '?' + new Date().getTime();
refreshIt(element);
}, 500); // refresh every 500ms
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img src="swt.png" name="myCam" onload="refreshIt(this)">
</body>
</html>
Edited: I need a combination of the already implemented functionality plus the file checking.
Functionality:
if image exist
refresh image
else
show cached image
Something like this:
$('#image_id').error(function() {
alert('Image does not exist !!');
});
