Is it possible somehow to check is image loaded without function .load() or onLoad? Problem is that the webkit-like browsers doesn't work properly with this function.
UPDATE: Problem is in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_JPEG - load fires only once otherwise stream is going and loading new images.
.completeboolean property will tell you if the image is loaded. Soif ( img.complete ) { ... }. (Note, though, that it probably isn't implemented in IEold.)
