onerror
Type: script code
This event is sent to an image element when an error occurs loading the image.
onload
Type: script code
This event handler will be called on the image element when the image has finished loading. This applies whether the image is applied via the src attribute or the list-style-image style property. If you change the image, the event will fire again when the new image loads. This event will not bubble up the element tree.
src
Type: image URL
The URL of the image to appear on the image. If this attribute is left out, no image appears.
validate
Type: one of the values below
This attribute indicates whether to load the image from the cache or not. This would be useful if the images are stored remotely or you plan on swapping the image frequently. The following values are accepted, or leave out the attribute entirely for default handling:
- always: The image is always checked to see whether it should be reloaded.
- never: The image will be loaded from the cache if possible.
Style Classes:
The following classes may be used to style the element. These classes should be used instead of changing the style of the element directly since they will fit more naturally with the user's selected theme.
alert-icon
Class that adds an alert icon. This typically looks like an exclamation mark. This and the other icon classes may be used by image elements or other elements which can have an image.
error-icon
Class that adds a error icon. This will typically be a red X icon.
message-icon
Class that adds a message box icon.
question-icon
Class that adds a question icon, which usually looks like a question mark.
Properties and Methods:
accessible
Type: nsIAccessible
Returns the accessibility object for the image.
src
