[webkit-dev] Cancel image loading in webkit browsers

[Bernhard zwischenbrugger]

hi all

I'm working on a (openstreetmap) slippy map for iphone browser.

At the moment I have a problem with cancel image loading.

Simple example:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("img").setAttribute("src","image1.jpg");
document.getElementById("img").setAttribute("src","image2.jpg");
</script>

Firefox does not load image1.jpg because it is not really needed.
Webkit loads the image1.jpg and that is a big problem.

Here a page that shows the effect more detailed:

Is there a way to cancel image loading in WebKit browsers?
To change the src attribute does not stop loading -> slow map

thanks
