Suppress Image Placeholders in Webbrowser Control

Question

Is there a UI flag I can set to suppress image placeholders when an image is unavailable?  I'd prefer to have empty space vs. a dozen red [X] boxes floating around.

TIA

Answer 1

No, but you can turn off images completely.  You could also hack the resource in the DLL to be an empty image.

Answer 2

You can a bind a function to the image's onerror event, which will replace the image with a alternate image to remove the redbox.

eg. 

Javascript:

var handleImgError = function(e) {
	e.src = "blank.gif";
	return true;
};

HTML:

<img src="images/testing.jpg" id="imgTest" onerror="handleImgError(this)" width="10" height="10" alt="testing" />

this example will give you an idea how to get it working.

the 'onerror' gets triggered when the image is not found in the path.
