[thelist] Image Empty Reference

[Hershel Robinson]

How can I code an HTML page with an <img> tag that has no image file
associated with it? What I mean is I want to do basically this:

<img src="" />

The reason I want such a strange markup is because depending on other
aspects of the page, the src attribute will be assigned by Javascript. When
the page loads, however, the above code will generate a 404 error on the
server.

I suppose I could generate the img tag itself via Javascript as well, but if
someone knows how to assign an empty reference to the existing tag, that
would be ideal for me.

Thanks,
Hershel
