I am trying to stop the loading of images with javascript on dom ready and then init the loading whenever i want, a so called lazy loading of images. Something like this:

$(document).ready(function () {

  var images = $('img');

  $.each(images, function() {

    $(this).attr('src', '');

  });

});

This doesn't work (tested in ff3.5, safari 3-4). The images is getting loaded anyway, i dont get it.

For example this plugin, www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload, is doing the exact same thing, removing the src attribute on page load.

What am i missing?

EDIT: I added a test page here: http://dev.bolmaster2.com/dev/lazyload-test/
I first remove the src attribute completely, then after 5 seconds I add it with the original image. Still doesn't work, at least firebug says the images get loaded at start, is firebug to trust?
