</html>Make sure your webpage is in standards mode.
Viewport computing is badly handled by browsers when in quirksmode.
If you do not want to use a data-uri as your src, you can also use the provided b.gif which is the tiniest gif ever.
On most websites, you better let the first top images not bound to lzld method. So that they shows really fast.
lazyloadjs is an npm module and is compatible with browserify.
global.myLazyload = require('lazyloadjs')();<img
data-src="real/image/src.jpg"
src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="
onload="myLazyload(this)">Per default, lazyloadjs exposes the lzld instance on the global
object. So that in most cases, you just need to require it in your webpage.
opts is an object with these defaults:
{
container: document.body,
offset: 333,
src: 'data-src' // or function(elt) { return customSrc }
}opts.container is the referencing container, it's the viewport, defaults to document.body
opts.offset is a length in pixels used to compute when an element will
soon be visible. So that you load it just before it becomes visible.
src is the attribute name storing the real src of the element to load.
src can also be a function, so that you can have your custom src computing algorithm.
You can use it to lazyload High DPI/retina images.
