Navigator 3.0 supports image manipulation with the following
powerful new features. Chapter 16, Special Effects with Images, has
complete details.
- The Image object represents an image, either on-screen or off.
Setting the src property of an Image object
will cause it to load (and display if it is an on-screen
image) the image stored at the specfied URL.
- The Document.images[] array contains a
complete list of the images displayed within a document.
- The Image() constructor allows the
creation of off-screen images, which can be used to preload
images that will be required for animations or other image
manipulation techniques.
- The onload(), onerror(),
and onabort() event handlers of the Image
object help determine the status of images that are loading.
- The complete property of the Image object
specified whether it is still being loaded or not.
