Where you have:
<img src="{$image_dir}{$article/article/images/image/source}" />

replace with something like:

<img border="0" width="70" height="50">
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:value-of select="$image_dir"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$article/article/images/image/source"/>
<xsl:if test="not($article/article/images/image/source)">defaultimage.jpg</xsl:if>
</xsl:attribute>
</img>

Well i tried your solution, and i just get the same efftect.

If the image is in the XML it displays the image but if no image in the XML
I just get an image cell (i am starting to hate that red x)

jkmyoung

The above assumes that you have the defined image in defaultimage.jpg
Perhaps your defined image is named differently?

It also assumed your defined image was in the same image directory.

 <div style="float:left;">

            <img border="0" width="70" height="50">

            <xsl:attribute name="src">

            <xsl:value-of select="$image_dir"/>

            <xsl:value-of select="$article/article/images/image/source"/>

            <xsl:if test="not($article/article/images/image/source)">noimage.jpg</xsl:if>

            </xsl:attribute>

            </img>

            </div>

yes the image is in the dir, though it still does not display.

ah, do you have an empty existing source node?
Instead change the if test to:
<xsl:if test="$article/article/images/image/source = ''">noimage.jpg</xsl:if>

which instead tests if the the string is empty as opposed to the node not being there.

Ah i knew it was something small that i was over looking, thank you for your input and help, that works perfectly.

Thank you again.

if no image in xml use this image instead.
