I have a 3rd website (Confluence) which references images which are secured by a login.
If the current user is logged in the image is shown if not the image url would redirect to a login form.
Example
<img src="secure/myimage.gif" />
When you enter this url in the browser a redirect to the login page is done.
The problem now: IE shows a the dreaded red X icon for the image even though there should be just nothing (like in Firefox). Anyone knows how to get around this?
Use the
onErrorevent to set a default image.This will function in any browser.
The blank image show in FF is a quirk of FF because the received file isn’t an image it should report an error.
