Okay here is my problem, I need to code a site for someone. I want to place sometype of placeholder for images. Like...they may want to place images but I don't know the name of the images so I can't code it already into the html document.

I was speaking to someone and he said there is an html code which you can place that will allow for the images to appear even if you don't know the exact name the person is saving the images as. He couldn't remember what the value or code was though.

I thought something like this would only be possible with php, as a value or something which automatically gets placed in there when it recognizes an image file (I don't know php, but thought I saw something about it being able to do this). Is there a certain value I can place on the page which will allow this?

Sorry if I'm not too clear on what I'm trying to do....

thanks in advance for any input

you are correct, html is not able to do this. some server side processing may be able to do it via variables.
