I am loading two images in the body of my window. One of them I am purposely writing the src attribute as incorrect so the image does not load completely.

In my Script, I have the code:
window.onerror = error Handler;

In the function 'errorHandler', I would like to write code that will change the 'ALT' text of ANY image that does not load properly to "Error Loading".

Thanks for any help.
 
instead of using the window.onerror event, use the image onerror handler:

<img src=&quot;someRandomImage.gif&quot; alt=&quot;this is a cool Picture&quot; onerror=&quot;this.alt='Error Loading Image';&quot;> Robert Carpenter
