Image holders

[dobbin]

Hi i asked my mate how to make imageholders and he said you need to use css and abit of php does anyone know how?

Can you define image holder? I can probably help, but I found nothing on google telling me what an "image holder" is.

That is a image holder above.

an image holder is either a "transparent" image that just takes up the necessary space, or it is another element used as a container to assign an image to when it is assigned.

Image holders are typically used when creating a slideshow of some sort. before the "show" starts, a default image should be declared... aka it "holds" the image place.

So, wouldn't you just need something like:

<div style="height:200px;width:150px;"></div>

?

Try this:

HTML:

With Image
<div class="image-holder">
     <img src="a/image.jpg" />
</div>

Without Image
<div class="image-holder">
</div>

CSS:

div.image-holder {
   height:200px;
   width:200px;
   overflow:hidden;
   background:url(nopic.jpg);
}

Anything highlighted, you need to change. What each thing means should be pretty self-explanatory. If not, post your questions.

What exactly do you need to do, then? If you don't have access to the code, you won't be able to make any changes!

Maybe you didn't understand my code. You have to change what I have highlighted. So if there is some image that you have to use. Just put in its URL.
