"turning off" images

[GROOVYHEN]

Is there a way to prevent Internet Explorer, or any other major internet navigator, displaying the images on a web site? And if so, is there a way of having a line of text displayed in the images' place (you would personalise the text)?

from the website or the browser?

Turn images off from the browser, as a user. Add comments to put in their place if you're making the site.

for on a website;
add alt attributes to the <img> tag
<img src="picture" alt="your text here">

to turn off images in browser

for IE;
Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced -> uncheck "Show pictures" in Multimedia

for NS and Mozilla;
Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Images -> set Do not load any images

Try adding some style sheet information such as:

img {
	visibility: hidden;
}

- keeps the formatting in tact (what the image would have taken up in space) but doesn't display the images

OR

img {
	display: none;
}

- Completely removes any trace of the image. Formatting continues to flow where the image would have been.

Hope this helps.
