How to stop broken images showing

Question

I have a table with some images that I want to start out with no images in them.I have set the src="".But when viewed in a browser it shows broken image pics.

<tr>
<td><img src=""> </td>
<td><img src=""> </td>
<td><img src=""></td>
</tr>

How can I prevent the browser from showing the broken image pics or X or whatever until I put some data into the src attribute.

Answer 1

Don't use images that point to nothing.

You could style them to have no visibility (will not work if you have anything in the src attribute, even if it is a bad URL):

img[src=''] 
{
  display: none;
}

But as I already said, if you don't have an image do display, don't put the tag on the page.

Answer 2

Very simple answer is add alt attribute with empty value

<img src="" alt="" width="50" height="50"/>

width & height are optional
