Do you mean you're getting a broken image icon? If that's the case you can use 
a transparent image like this:

<img src="images/transparent_shim.gif" id="replace" alt="replaced image" 
title="replaced image" />

And in the stylesheet you can call to the background image like this:

img#replace { background:url(images/replace.jpg); width:100px; height:25px; }

Keep in mind that the alt tags should still describe the image that's used as 
the background image, so that would still need to be updated (dynamically or 
otherwise).

and could not find anything. I tried img {background:
url('images/myicon.jpg') and got the image in the background but the
image with a red cross is also surimposed.

Basically I would like to see the myicon.jpg and not defaulticon.jpg in
a configuration like this:

    img {
    src: url("images/calendar.gif");
    }


id="calendarContainer_Icon">

Thanks
