I use this  it works with php      lt span gt  lt  php if  file exists  image    data  img name           gt     lt img src  image  lt  php echo  data  img name      gt   width  100  height  100  gt     lt  php  else    echo  Image Not Found     gt    lt  span gt    Essentially what the code is doing  is checking for the File   The  data variable will be used with our array then actually make the desired change   If it isn t found  it will throw an Exception

Internet Explorer 7  and earlier  displays the value of the alt attribute as a tooltip  when mousing over the image  This is NOT the correct behavior  according to the HTML specification  The title attribute should be used instead  Source  http   www w3schools com tags att img alt asp

Here is a simple workaround in jQuery  You can implement it as a user script to apply it to every page you view     function           img   live  mouseover   function          var img     this      cache query     if  img title          return            img attr  title   img attr  alt                 I have also implemented this as a Chrome extension called alt  Because it uses jQuery live  it works with dynamically loaded content  too  I have retired this extension and removed it from the Chrome store

Various browsers  mis handle this in various ways   Using title  an old IE  standard   isn t particularly appropriate  since the title attribute is a mouseover effect   The jQuery solution above  Alexis  seems on the right track  but I don t think the  error  occurs at a point where it could be caught   I ve had success by replacing at the src with itself  and then catching the error      img   each function           this  error function                   this  replaceWith this alt          attr  src    this  prop  src           This  as in the Alexis contribution  has the benefit of removing the missing img image
