(Note this does not refer broken images as therefore not a duplicate of previously asked questions).
I'd like to find or build a IMG wrapper that first shows a default background image from the local cache before showing the intended photo once it has loaded, similar to what Pinterest does (although Pinterest is even cooler and detects a color background that complements the image that's loading).
I have an app which loads a lot of photos - hundreds - and I would like to make the way they load in a feature rather than an ugly artifact of the browser.
Wouldn't it be cool if they looked liked this?

Can that be done?
