> image with a red cross is also surimposed. 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). -- Marcello Fred Janon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I am creating dynamically an element in Javascript. I set the "src" attribute to a default image file path i.e. 'src="images/defaulticon.jpg"' and I would like to be able to override that path using CSS. I checked my CSS books and the list previous posts 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 ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
