It happens only if the image is not cached, thus suggesting the javascript continues to the next function while the image is still being loaded. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. clear cache 2. run html snippet Actual Results: height: 0 width: 0 Expected Results: height: 15 width: 80
Html sample file. <html> <head> </head> <body> <script> var img = new Image(); img.src = "http://sfx-images.mozilla.org/affiliates/Buttons/80x15/blue_1.gif"; document.write("height: " + img.height + " width: " + img.width); </script> </body> </html>
This is as it should be. Web browsers load the image in the background allowing scripts to continue. You can use the complete property of the image or the load event to detect when it has finished loading.
This is invalid. Rewrite your script as follow: var img = new Image(); img.src = "http://sfx-images.mozilla.org/affiliates/Buttons/80x15/blue_1.gif"; img.onload = function() { document.write("height: " + this.height + " width: " + this.width); }
