title: Image source update in JavaScript with Opera
body: <p>I am loading remote images periodically with an Image object to be later drawn on a canvas. The Image object is created in JS only, it doesn't exist in DOM. </p>
  
  <p>The code is working fine with Chrome and Firefox. In Opera the problem is that the browser seems to always switch to "loading mode" whenever image source is modified, i.e. the cursor changes to the "waiting" one and Opera adds "Elements: X/Y" to the address bar.</p>
  
  <p>Here's the testing code: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/nZntU/3/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/nZntU/3/</a></p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know any workaround for this Opera behavior?</p>
