I want to know when an image has finished loading. Is there a way to do it with a callback?
If not, is there a way to do it at all?

Image.onload() will often work.
To use it, you'll need to be sure to bind the event handler before you set the src attribute.

Example Usage:
window.onload = function () {
var logo = document.getElementById('sologo');
logo.onload = function () {
alert ("The image has loaded!");
};
setTimeout(function(){
logo.src = 'https://edmullen.net/test/rc.jpg';
}, 5000);
}; <html>
<head>
<title>Image onload()</title>
</head>
<body>
<img src="#" alt="This image is going to load" id="sologo"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
</body>
</html>
You can use the .complete property of the Javascript image class.
I have an application where I store a number of Image objects in an array, that will be dynamically added to the screen, and as they're loading I write updates to another div on the page. Here's a code snippet:
var gAllImages = [];
function makeThumbDivs(thumbnailsBegin, thumbnailsEnd)
{
gAllImages = [];
for (var i = thumbnailsBegin; i < thumbnailsEnd; i++)
{
var theImage = new Image();
theImage.src = "thumbs/" + getFilename(globals.gAllPageGUIDs[i]);
gAllImages.push(theImage);
setTimeout('checkForAllImagesLoaded()', 5);
window.status="Creating thumbnail "+(i+1)+" of " + thumbnailsEnd;
// make a new div containing that image
makeASingleThumbDiv(globals.gAllPageGUIDs[i]);
}
}
function checkForAllImagesLoaded()
{
for (var i = 0; i < gAllImages.length; i++) {
if (!gAllImages[i].complete) {
var percentage = i * 100.0 / (gAllImages.length);
percentage = percentage.toFixed(0).toString() + ' %';
userMessagesController.setMessage("loading... " + percentage);
setTimeout('checkForAllImagesLoaded()', 20);
return;
}
}
userMessagesController.setMessage(globals.defaultTitle);
}
Life is too short for jquery.
function waitForImageToLoad(imageElement){
return new Promise(resolve=>{imageElement.onload = resolve})
}
var myImage = document.getElementById('myImage');
var newImageSrc = "https://pmchollywoodlife.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/justin-bieber-bio-photo1.jpg?w=620"
myImage.src = newImageSrc;
waitForImageToLoad(myImage).then(()=>{
// Image have loaded.
console.log('Loaded lol')
});<img id="myImage" src="">You could use the load()-event in jQuery but it won't always fire if the image is loaded from the browser cache. This plugin https://github.com/peol/jquery.imgloaded/raw/master/ahpi.imgload.js can be used to remedy that problem.
If the goal is to style the img after browser has rendered image, you should:
const img = new Image();
img.src = 'path/to/img.jpg';
img.decode().then(() => {
/* set styles */
/* add img to DOM */
});
because the browser first loads the compressed version of image, then decodes it, finally paints it. since there is no event for paint you should run your logic after browser has decoded the img tag.
Not suitable for 2008 when the question was asked, but these days this works well for me:
async function newImageSrc(src) {
// Get a reference to the image in whatever way suits.
let image = document.getElementById('image-id');
// Update the source.
img.src = src;
// Wait for it to load.
await new Promise((resolve) => { image.onload = resolve; });
// Done!
console.log('image loaded! do something...');
}
If you are using React.js, you could do this:
render() {
// ...
<img
onLoad={() => this.onImgLoad({ item })}
onError={() => this.onImgLoad({ item })}
src={item.src} key={item.key}
ref={item.key} />
// ... }
