Q for any HTML gurus

I have an idea. Make a table cell where you want the on/off line images to go. Make the offline image be the background of that cell. Then, have the Online image load there. If the server is Online, the image loads. If not, it doesn't load and you see the offline message.

That is how John Beech does it and I will also be using that style for my race styles at SE.org

That looks great!

Is there any way to erase the border around the broken image?

If the border is around the img, add border=0 as a property of the <img> tag. If it is around the table, do the same with the <table> tag. If it is around a table cell, add a "border-width: 0" style attribute to the <td> tag. Otherwise, post a url so I can see what the problem is.

Homepage/Imagepack

When the "Online" image is broken, I get the box.
I have set the Height & width so I don't get the stupid "X" or torn icons, but I still get an image border.

SJ, I looked at your HTML code, you have a <table> within the <table>, the one whose <td> tag has the BACKGROUND property set. Add "BORDER=0" as a property to the inner <table> tag.

I did that, but I am pretty sure the border is from the broken image, since it only appears when the site is "offline".
