Changing the broken link image

[easymoney]

When you are surfing the internet in Interent Explorer and a picture link is broken, is displays a white box with a red X in it showing you that the link is broken.

Is there anyway that the image it show (the red X) can be changed to something else???

The only thing I can think of is to set image's background to something else via style:

img {
  background:transparent url("file:///C:\Windows\Desktop\Error.gif") no-repeat center center;
}

Then I think you can combine your own stylesheets with the page's own somewhere in IE's options. But that's not really a good solution as any transparent images won't be properly transparent anymore, and it won't get rid of the red cross, just add an image behind it I think.

Yeah thats sounds about right.

Only problem is I didn't tell you that I want to do this to the dll's of IE. In others words... all web pages not just mine.

Oh, then sorry I don't have a clue The only thing I could say is switch to Mozilla and modify the source code (it's open source). But you'd have to know C++ and be good at it probably

I was thinking that maybe there was an image list or file that was referenced somewhere in the registry fir IE. I am almost sure that there is a fairly easy method, maybe not PC or obvious, but a simple method.

I just want the blank space to display 'blocked' or something!

Have you checked the MS site? Maybe they'll have something there.

MS has nothing for you. I tried for something that will change the default downloader, and it tells you nothing. I even emailed them and nothing, no response. I doubt they're going to tell you how to change their DLLs

Try Resource Hacker on the DLL.
