Is it necessary to set onload function before setting src for an image object?

by

It doesn’t have to, but if setting the src and the image loads before your handler is attached, it won’t fire.

JavaScript operates asynchronously. Setting the src will cause the web browser to load the image outside the main execution flow. If onload isn’t set at the time that operation completes – which could be between setting src and onload.
