Synopsis

<img ... onabort="handler" ... >
image.onabort

Description

The onabort property of an Image object specifies an event handler function that is invoked when the user aborts the loading of an image (for example, by clicking the Stop button).

The initial value of this property is a function that contains the JavaScript statements specified by the onabort attribute of the <img> tag that defined the Image object. When an event handler function is defined by an HTML attribute, it is executed in the scope of element rather than in the scope of the containing window.

In the Netscape 4 event model, the onabort handler function is passed an Event object as an argument. In the IE event model, no argument is passed, but the applicable Event object is available as the event property of the Window object that contains the element.
