Implications of JavaScript same origin policy on dynamic image loading

Question

If JavaScript has a same origin policy, does that mean that I can't dynamically load images from a different domain?

Answer 1

No, the same origin policy does not apply to <img> tags.

There are other notable exceptions, some of which are described in that Wikipedia article. They include:

• Style-sheets
• Scripts (this is how JSONP works)
• Form submissions

Answer 2

The same-origin policy is limited to document properties of another site. Images are not considered as document properties.
