Remove Broken Images Using Dojo
In an effort to get better with the Dojo Toolkit, I've decided to port yet another one of my previous posts: Remove Broken Images Using MooTools or jQuery. Broken images are an eyesore to any website so there's no point to keeping them in the page. Here's how you can remove them on the client side.
The Dojo JavaScript
dojo.ready(function() {
dojo.query('img').forEach(function(img){
dojo.connect(img,'onerror',function() {
dojo.destroy(img);
});
});
});
Just as simple as jQuery and MooTools -- just a different syntax!
![Responsive and Infinitely Scalable JS Animations]()
Back in late 2012 it was not easy to find open source projects using requestAnimationFrame() - this is the hook that allows Javascript code to synchronize with a web browser's native paint loop. Animations using this method can run at 60 fps and deliver fantastic...
![Regular Expressions for the Rest of Us]()
Sooner or later you'll run across a regular expression. With their cryptic syntax, confusing documentation and massive learning curve, most developers settle for copying and pasting them from StackOverflow and hoping they work. But what if you could decode regular expressions and harness their power? In...
![Create a 3D Panorama Image with A-Frame]()
In the five years I've been at Mozilla I've seen some awesome projects. Some of them very popular, some of them very niche, but none of them has inspired me the way the MozVR team's work with WebVR and A-Frame project have.
A-Frame is a community project...
![Detect Vendor Prefix with JavaScript]()
Regardless of our position on vendor prefixes, we have to live with them and occasionally use them to make things work. These prefixes can be used in two formats: the CSS format (-moz-, as in -moz-element) and the JS format (navigator.mozApps). The awesome X-Tag project has...
Some streamlining of your methods:
dojo.query('img').connect('onerror', function() { dojo.destroy(this); });Nice site by the way :) Keep up the Dojo posts :)
@Karl Tiedt: Applied to a collection — very nice! I’ll keep that in mind from this point forward.
Would you happen to have code to do this with prototype?
I wish images would fire an event if they didn’t load then we could put something in it’s place instead of going through every image checking. Kind of slow…
@Ben: They do — they fire an
