Missing image in url

[DuLaus]

Hi I have to retrieve images using <img
src=http://www.othersite.com/graphics/thumbimages/#prefix#/#hotels.Id#-01.jpg></
a> That works fine if in fact there is an image but the problem is when there
is no image with the respective ID. Can someone suggest a work around if there
is no image at the URL. Thanks

Try:

<cfif Isdefined('hotels.Id') AND hotels.Id NEQ "">
<img
src=http://www.othersite.com/graphics/thumbimages/#prefix#/#hotels.Id#-01.jpg>
</cfif>

Checks to see if it exists then makes sure that it is not empty.

Hi ProWeb The #hotels.Id# is always going to be present for other data so it
will always be true. When the image is not available I still get a broken
image link showing. If I could use something like FileExists, but I only see
reference examples to a path and not a URL. Thanks

you could use javascript, something like:
<script>
var img1 = new Image() ;
var imgAlt = new Image() ;
img1.src =
'http://www.othersite.com/graphics/thumbimages/#prefix#/#hotels.Id#-01.jpg';
mgAlt.src = 'http://www.othersite.com/graphics/thumbimages/defaultImage.jpg';
if(img1)
myPic.src = img1.src;
else
myPic.src = imgAlt.src;
</script>

<img src="" name="myPic" id="myPic">

Check to see if the FileExists():



<cfset hotelImage = ExpandPath('graphics/thumbimages/' & prefix) &
"/#hotels.Id#-01.jpg">

<cfif FileExists(hotelImage)>
<img
src="http://www.othersite.com/graphics/thumbimages/#prefix#/#hotels.Id#-01.jpg"
/>
<cfelse>
<img src="http://www.othersite.com/graphics/thumbimages/noImage.jpg" />
</cfif>

Thanks for the posts. cf_menace <cfset hotelImage =
ExpandPath('graphics/thumbimages/' &amp; prefix) &amp; '/#hotels.Id#-01.jpg'>
I still have not figured out the above (I have not tried this code yet). Why
am I setting a path to an image with the cfset statement when it is on another
server. Thanks
