jQuery callback on image load (even when the image is cached)

Is there a way to check if image is loaded by jquery? I have some images with external src and sometime
src points to 404 page. Is there a way to check if that image is loaded? and then I can remove it from dom otherwise.

Thanks.

jQuery has a function to deal with this, take a look at .error()

So for example you could attach an .error() handler to all images and display something else if there is an error, like the source no longer exists:

$('img').error(function() {
    $(this).hide();
}).attr("src", "missing.jpg");
