Catching image fetch exception

I am rendering some rough and ready HTML as part of a screen-scraping
task.

Presumably it is NOT valid HTML. I get messages like these often:

Uncaught error fetching image:

I presume these are a side effect of links to images that don't exist,
or that are not being rendered relative the the correct base.

So questions:

1. can I fake the base the HTML came from.

2. is there a way to catch these exceptions and ignore them?
