Checking an image

[rsherard3]

I am in a bind. I am working on a slide show that uses:

var image1 = new Image()
image1.src = gmtimgurl9
var image2=new Image()
image2.src = gmtimgurl8
var image3=new Image()
image3.src = gmtimgurl7
var image4=new Image()
image4.src = gmtimgurl6
var image5=new Image()
image5.src = gmtimgurl5
var image6=new Image()
image6.src = gmtimgurl4
var image7=new Image()
image7.src = gmtimgurl3
var image8=new Image()
image8.src = gmtimgurl2
var image9=new Image()
image9.src = gmtimgurl1
var image10=new Image()
image10.src = gmtimgurl
var image11=new Image()
image11.src = gmtimgurl
var image12=new Image()
image12.src = gmtimgurl
var image13=new Image()
image13.src = gmtimgurl
var image14=new Image()
image14.src = gmtimgurl
var image15=new Image()
image15.src = gmtimgurl

These variables load the image. I found a script to check the image to ensure it exists, but it doesn't work. What I am trying to do is check the image url to ensure the image is there. If not, then I will increment the step variable to go to the next image. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm stuck here. Thanks in advance!

use the onerror event of the image object for this purpose

var image1 = new Image()
image1.onerror=dosomethig here
image1.src = gmtimgurl9

Well, I have the following code:

var image1 = new Image()
if (image1.onerror) {
image1.src = gmtimgurl7
} else {
image1.src = gmtimgurl8
}

In theory, this should make image1.src equal to gmtimgurl7 if there is an error, correct? However, I am still getting a broken image displayed when the loop is run. Am I on the right track? Thanks!

Ok. After trial and error, obviously, the above will not work. Here is code for two images I have:

var image1 = new Image()
image1.src = gmtimgurl9
var image2=new Image()
image2.src = gmtimgurl8

This should be pretty easy, but I cannot figure out how to do it. If the second image is not found, then the first image should be loaded in its place. So, I would then have two slides of the same image instead of one image and a blank image. Does anyone know how I can do that? I have tried the onError, but nothing there seems to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
