Image Object complete not accurate?

I made an image slideshow with precaching that uses three overlapping
div tags that each contain an img tag that can be accessed using
getElementById( ). If imgObj is my image object, I change imgObj.src to
the image URL and I'm checking imgObj.complete to see if it has been
loaded. The problem is that when I change an imgObj that previously
held an image, complete will be true immediately after imgObj.src has
been changed, regardless of whether it is loaded. Is there any way to
avoid this or is there a way to destroy the old image object before I
assign the new src URL?

Don't use the .complete, use .onload of the IMG object. And then look at
the group FAQ with regards to cacheing. You can add the current time, in
milliseconds, to the file name and it will be retrieved from the server.

imgOjb.src = "someFile.p ng?" + new Date().getTime( );

This may seem like such a simple question, I should be embarrassed to ask it. The FAQ says an object is "A region of storage with associated semantics." OK, what exactly is meant by "associated semantics"? What, if any, associated semantics are shared by all objects? That part seems to go beyond the FAQ. Does anybody know of a resource that discusses (focuses on) this topic? -- p->m == (*p).m == p.m

I need to get the size on an image client side before the client uploads it, and if its too large, I need to alert the client rather than doing a postback. The code below successfully writes the file size to the text-input element on the second click (attempt), but writes -1 on the first click. It must return the file size on the first click to be useable. Can anyone explain why it returns -1 on the first click and then the actual file...

I was playing around with canvas support in recent Safari, Mozilla and Opera (only version 9 preview) but run into issues with Safari related to the very old DOM Level 0 Image object for preloading images. When doing e.g. var img = new Image(); img.onload = function (evt) { alert(this); }; img.src = 'whatever.gif';

I can't get the below code to work, no matter how many times I change it. I do have the Image file, Image1, created (in another method), and using "hard coding" I can save it (it's a filled rectangle) on my hard drive, but I cannot use the Dialog box to select a user defined name. I keep getting the error "Wrong Parameter Selected" no matter what name I pick. Also I got rid of the 'filters' for extensions and it still doesn't work. ...

Beware newbies: I spent a day before I figured this out: copying a bitmap (image) file to file is not quite like copying a text file--you have to do some tricks (see below), like using a "Graphics" object to wrap around the image (!). It's not so simple as shown in most examples (where they have a simple image file and hard copy it into a harddrive along the lines of : image.Save(@"C:\\temp\\myimage.pgn"); That will work, but it's a...
