Can I add multiple sources to an image tag?

In case the original image is unavailable, is it possible to keep a backup?

Can't do with img tag but instead of img you can use picture tag .. Follow the link 👇👇 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/picture

i think there are some work around function getBackup(el){ let currBackup = el.dataset.currentbackup; let backup = JSON.parse(`[${el.dataset.bakup}]`); if(currBackup >= backup.length){ //handle no backup return; } let src = backup[currBackup++]; let imgTemp = new Image(); imgTemp.currentBackup = currBackup; imgTemp.backup = backup.toString(); imgTemp.src = src; imgTemp.addEventListener('load',e=>{ el.src = src; } imgTemp.addEventListener('error',e=>{ getBackup(e.target); } } <img src='source.png' data-backup='backup1.png,backup2.png' data-currentbackup='0' onerror='getBackup(this)' /> havent tested it, dont know if it'll work, but you can see what i'm trying to do and maybe fix it yourself
