  Four Feathers

  Could this be handy to use too?

  and what about removing the inline onload handler of the image since that code wont validate when using a strict doctype?

  Since we use DOM why not do this:

  Create an object:

  document.getElementById(‘LoadedImg’)

  loadImg = function(){

  // check if has loaded allready, and if so, abandon it.

  if( this.hasloaded ) { return; }

  // if not, mark it as having already run

  this.hasloaded = true;

  alert(‘Now that I have your attention…’);
  
  this.parentNode.removeChild(this);
  
  }

  document.getElementById(‘LoadedImg’).hasloaded = false;
  
  document.getElementById(‘LoadedImg’).onload = loadImg;

  if(document.getElementById(‘LoadedImg’).complete) {
  
  document.getElementById(‘LoadedImg’).onload();
  
  }
