$(myImageEl).waitForImages() doesn't work

It looks like the library works only elements that are children of the selector. Any particular reason? In my case, I prefer waiting only on specific images, so rather than specifying a container, the selector points directly to the image. Unfortunately, waitForImages doesn’t find the src in that case…

// doesn't work
$('<img src="..." />')
    .appendTo('body')
    .waitForImages()
    .then(function() {
        console.log('executed immediately, because image not detected');
    });

I will close as outside the functionality of this plugin.

waitForAll would work, but it’s more of a workaround I guess. Ideally an edge case like this would be handled just like other cases. Adding something like this would do the trick I think:

obj.find('img:has-src').addBack('img:has-src')
