Image Icon Problem HELP

[raefield]

I am trying to write a template to use with an andale prigram. I want the template to be a layout for a web page for the data in my database. I have come up with a layout I like. I want the same template to be able to be used irrigardless of how many pictures I am using in the particular entry. So I set it up with the image source filed for 5 pictures (which equal the field names for my images. It works fine. BUT if I have less than the 5 pictures, I get an icon woth an "x" in trhe middle of it in place of a picture. I tryed using "alt" to replace the icon with a space or something, but it is not working. Is there any other line of code I could use to get rid of the icons?? This is the code I used for the pic line: <p align="center"><img src="[IMAGE_URL1]" alt="test"></p>. I would appreciate any help. Thank you -

You get the fifth one an X because you have stated that there is a file. Even with an alt tag an image must be placed in the area otherwise leave blank. It you want nothing in the area but an arifical pic try using a gif that is transparent or something.
