I enjoyed this, too. Typically I’d set a css rule: {img {background:url(‘image.png’)}, but that has drawbacks. I could see using both just in case Javascript is disabled though.

I have several domains and I frequently crosslink between them. So who would I be stealing bandwidth from? I found this useful.

Really useful stuff . Just the other day my boss asked me if we could change the error image …. the one with the little x in the corner … for a web app we are building .
I told him NO .
Looks like I was wrong.
Good thing he doesn’t know any programming .

Thanks for the article.
Stumbled.

This article has nothing to do with advocating the linking of images from other people’s websites without their permission. A lot of companies own several domains and cross-link them. Also, for services such as flickr this is a good method to use as a backup in-case an image cannot be retrieved.

I’d appreciate more constructive comments instead of blatant assumptions. Thanks.

Or you could not be a bandwidth thief and get your own copies.
