Is there a way to load a <img> just like element.load() with a loading mask?

Set its "src" attribute to a URL?

@craneleeon - See if this (http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11304) get's you started in the right direction. You could use the img element itself as the mask host or even one of it's parents.
