Different Display when no upload

Question

In making a file upload optional, when someone decides not to upload a file, is there a way to make the display page appear without that broken gif image? Maybe with words that say, "image not provided" - something like that....

Image Not Provided
<% end if ' image check %>

I use an extension from the robgt, so you dont get a broken image.

<%
' *** Show Image If Available
' *** RobGT Server Behaviour 107 - By RobGT - www.robgt.com ***
IF (Recordset1.Fields.Item("news_pic").Value) <> "" Then%>
<img src = "<%=(Recordset1.Fields.Item("news_pic").Value)%>">
<% End IF %>

I must be doing somethin terribly wrong. I have a page that I created in ASP. Its a detail page that has 3 images with recordsets. Now when I view the page normally, it views fine. When I have no image uploaded, it displays the empty image box. No when I tried to apply the Server Behvior #107 that you used above, I get 3 more image boxs. So Tried the other method the if else one way above, and what happens is it works fine, except when an image should be displyed I get a broken image. The url to the image is missing.

What the hell am I doing wrong. I tried using dreamweavers show if not empty but that didnt do anything either.
