Firefox seems to be restricting JavaScript image loading. The following
code works fine in all browsers except Firefox:
function loadImage()
{
var objIcon = document.create Element( 'IMG' );
objIcon.src = "/techJournal/firefoxIcon.png ";
document.body.a ppendChild( objIcon );
}
The image simply doesn't load, as you will see at: http://www.firethefox.co.uk/techJour...avaScript.html
Could it be that the security lockdowns in the latest version of
Firefox prevent image loading in JavaScript? If so, does anyone know a
workaround that I can introduce into my code?
I'd be grateful for your help

Nope, unfortunately not. Maybe this only fails with certain
environments?
Images are enabled in my browser, and the problem occurs whether or not
the "for the originating site only" option is ticked.
Any more ideas, anyone?
Yes, JavaScript is enabled, and there are no messages in the JavaScript
console. ch***@chrisbeac h.co.uk wrote: Firefox seems to be restricting JavaScript image loading. The following code works fine in all browsers except Firefox:

Check Edit, Preferences, Content, Load Images.
Try Ctrl+Shift+r. Clear the cache (directory).
If so, does anyone know a workaround that I can introduce into my code?

I have tried the steps you pointed out but to no avail
My employer puts restrictions and enforced configuration on certain
software. It could be that these apply to Firefox and are causing the
problem I'm seeing. Thanks for looking into this, guys. I guess the
issue isn't widespread so I probably shouldn't be worried about it.
The problem has been identified by Ben Basson, who commented on my
blog:
Having the pref "dom.disable_im age_src_set" set as the boolean value
'true' in about:config will cause your script to fail.
IIRC, this option was removed from the interface because there's no
logical reason that anyone would want to disable this behaviour. It's
default value is set to 'false', i.e. changing the src of an image is
allowed by default.
I can't think of a workaround, but I sort of hope that there isn't one,
since that would somewhat devalue the preference. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
I want to load an external javascript file, get its results and stick
them inside a <div> block. I also
want to do this in several places on a web page.
This way the browser doesn't have to wait for the external resource to
load to show up the page,
thus giving a perceiving faster load time for the user.

I'm in a quandary as to how to address a problem. The site in question:

They work just fine in IE, but Firefox doesn't load the initial state
of the images. If you mouse over the images that have onmouseover or
