http://www.w3.org/TR/progress-events/#Using
The example loads an image, and then subscribes to progress events:
function showImage(imageHref) {
var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
image.setAttributeNS(xlinkNS, "href", imageHref);
image.addEventListener("progress",imageLoadProgress,false);
image.addEventListener("load",imageLoadComplete,false);
}
I'm not familiar with xlink, but if it causes the userAgent to
synchronously request a resource, the imageLoadProgress won't get
events.
It seems like it would be necessary to first abort any call, then add listeners:
// tab-width: 7
function showImage(imageHref) {
var image = document.getElementById('myImage');
// Pretend we have an "abort()" method that stops loading. Removing
the href attribute
// won't stop the load request.
image.abort();
image.addEventListener("progress",imageLoadProgress,false);
image.addEventListener("load",imageLoadComplete,false);
// Set the href attribute to kick off a synchronous req.
image.setAttributeNS(xlinkNS, "href", imageHref);
}
Is this correct.
