From: MickB Tenerife on 28 Mar 2010 02:41 Hi I have an ASP page that calls values from an access database using the DBRW. One of the fields is a reference to an image file, relative to the specific record, using the ID field to identify the correct image as below src="/photos/<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"ID")%>a.jpg" If that image does not exist I get the normal "X" image box. What I would like to do is : If the image (as above) does not exist then put a default photo "nophoto.jpg" in its place thanks for your help

From: Kathleen Anderson on 28 Mar 2010 16:32 This can be done without script, with a little preplanning. Import the "nophoto.jpg" into your web site, and prepopulate the database field with its location. If a real image is available, it will be displayed, otherwise the "nophoto.jpg" will be displayed. -- ~ Kathleen Anderson Microsoft MVP - Expression Web Spider Web Woman Designs Expression Web Resources: http://www.spiderwebwoman.com/xweb/ Expression Web Wiki: http://expression-web-wiki.com/ FrontPage Resources: http://www.spiderwebwoman.com/resources/ Please reply to the newsgroup for the benefit of others "Ronx" <ronx917(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message news:OG$tDTlzKHA.264(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Sorry - this solution is doomed to failure, it assumes the id field is > empty if the image is missing. > > -- > Ron Symonds > Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) > http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp > > Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread. > > > > "Ronx" <ronx917(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:#Q3ETQlzKHA.5348(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >> <% >> if FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"ID") = "" Then >> %> >> <img src="nophoto.jpg" alt="No image available"> >> <% Else %> >> <img src="/photos/<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"ID")%>a.jpg" alt=""> >> <% End If %> >> >> Note that FrontPage Design View will display both the nophoto.jpg and a >> placeholder for the database image.

I think Kathleen's solution requires a field for the image path/name in the database. With this field, as Kathleen suggested, populate the database with nophoto.jpg as the default value, or adapt my first post to use this field instead of the ID field. Without this field, you will have to check for the presence (or absence) of the image. The script below should do this: <% 'Check existence of image Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") imgnm = "/photos/" & FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"ID") & "a.jpg" imgnm = Server.MapPath(imgnm) 'Find disc filing system location on server If (fs.FileExists(imgnm))=false Then 'image does not exist %> <img src="nophoto.jpg" alt="No image available"> <% Else %> <img src="/photos/" & FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"ID") & "a.jpg" alt=""> <% End If set fs=nothing %> -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.
