Add inactive icon parameter to the iconRange option about raty HOT 3 CLOSED

I believe the second option would be more appropriate. However would the starOff option just become a default if images are missing?

Hi roryhutchings,

For all I know, there is no way to check if the stream of the image is available or not just with JS.
And change the image automatically can confuse if the path is correct and pointing to the default icon or Raty that do it.

You should do something like this when applying the <img> tag in your script:

<img src="path/to/custom-star.png" lowsrc="path/to/default-star.png" (...) />

The lowscr property is responsible for loading an image to display while the browser is still downloading the src image.

Note: If the browser can't find the src image, the lowsrc image will not be replaced. So, if the browser can't find the custom-star image, it will show the default-star always.

Remember: It is NOT an standardized feature of the HTML language, so maybe not all browsers will work the same way and maybe some of them can even ignore this property. So, if the developer don't put the custom-image on the server or refer to an image hosted in 3rd-party servers and in the future that image is removed or no longer available, it's his(or her) responsibility for that issue, not yours. You are just helping for pure grace with all that you can do.

The major browsers (ie, ff, chrome, opera, safari, etc...) support this feature. See http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_image.asp for details.
