How to catch an error event for an SVG image
<!--
Image is a 87px height & 200px width long.
I'm calling an image from DB, but if it fails to load, im listening to the Error event, and than call an image from DB.
Big thing here is this guy: `onerror="this.href.baseVal='pathTo_placeholder_fallback_image'"`
`this.href.baseVal`
This guy enables you to overright the SVG image source, with the fallbacl one.
