Hi,
I have used your method for a news blog from PHP for Dreamweaver 8.

When no image is selected, firefox does not display the image container with the red X.

However, most of our users are still using IE6.

In IE6 when no image is used it shows an image holder with the red x in it.

Is there a way to remove the image place holder if no image is displayed?

Also when no caption is used, in all browsers you get a "Caption here" in place of the caption.
cheers

Yep. The answer's right in the middle of page 413.

Thanks. That's nice to know.

I suspect that's because they involve basic database techniques.
Beginner-level books sell more than advanced ones, mainly because anyone
who moves beyond the beginner level is usually fairly capable of
tackling more complex projects without the assistance of a book.

Anyway, the ideas you have suggested will certainly give me something to
think about for future books. I'm currently putting the final touches to
a CS4 book, but it doesn't cover the sort of area you're looking for.

I'm hoping to go too, but haven't made a firm decision yet.
