Re: Alternate for red cross

using show/hide if recordset is empty you can generate this effect.
I think you should use "no picture provided" for that matter.

Thank for replying but unfortunately things are not that simple.

The exact scenerio is that i'm retriving the path of the file from the database. Problem is that, if for any reason, the path is there but the image is not at that path then i dont get an empty recordset but a cross mark instead. Hope this time i better explain my problem.

So what is the solution now.

Since you haven't said what server model you are using, this is how to
display an alternate image in ASP/VBScript

<%If rsName.Fields.Item("imgName").Value <> "" Or
IsNull(rsName.Fields.Item("imgName").Value) Then %>
<img src="path/<%=(rsName.Fields.Item("imgName").Value)%>">
<% Else %>
<img src="path/noimage.gif">
<%End If %>


If I understand what was wanted, that won't quite do it. Uzair said that, if
the path/file name IS there, but the image file is not, he wants to display
alternate or no content. I don't have my VBScript reference here, so I
cannot give the code, but I believe you'll need the FileSystemObject to
check to see if the file exists. Presumably, that would be done in the IF
portion of your construct.
