112183 - Image change thru Javascript should show the broken icon when not existing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 148199

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[Marc Boullet]

BuildID 2001112508 NT4
When changing the image source via JS, if
the new image is broken (not existing in the test case),
Mozilla stays with the old image without any notification.

This can be very dangerous if the new image is intended to
have very few modifications versus the old one. The user
can be mistaken.

At least, the image area should be made empty (transparent 1x1)
or better, the broken icon should be displayed (as it is the case
when the image is declared within the body tag).In any case, the
old image should be removed.

Will attach a simple test case.

Terri,
Are you really seeing a broken icon replacing
the mozilla banner after you've clicked the alert box ?

For the moment I'm stuck with my "old" 2001120108 build
waiting for a new build that works. So it is still not working
for me.
