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.

Hi,

Thank you for that, I do not know how I missed it...I've been searching through it all week. It works fine now.

As a by the way, I also have the Essential Guide to Dreamweaver with CC, AJAX and PHP and bwtween them I get most help.

Do you know of or are you planning a future book to build applications other than Blogs and Photo Galleries, because it seems that nearly all books on Web developement whether it is PHP, ASP or Coldfusion seem to concentrate on these applications only.

I also subscribe to Lynda.com and again all the Video trainings involve building the same apps.

I discussed this last year at Adobe MAX in Barcelona and alot of people agreed that some more diverse applications would be useful. I'll be in Milan in December also......

For example....

Training Calenders

Meeting Schedulars

Online Document Libraries ( I built one of these myself for work purposes again for training teams to organise PDF, Word, Powerpoint etc documents based on team skills etc) but it took a while.

I'm experimenting with Flex at the moment to see if I can use this also.

Just a thought really.

Thanks for the pointer.

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.
