    Is it possible to use htaccess to redirect all queries for non existent images to a default.jpg?

    What I want to do is use keyword rich image names in my code, but display my default.jpg instead.

    e.g my html says:
    <img src="purple-widgets-for-sale.jpg" />

    But since that image doesn't really exist, it pulls in default.jpg instead.

    I hope this makes sense. And I hope it's possible somehow.

    Try adding this to the .htaccess file of some directory and all the files behind that directory will be affected:

    <FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|JPG|JPEG|GIF|PNG)">
    ErrorDocument 404 path_to_your_default_jpg
    </FilesMatch>

    Value example for path_to_your_default_jpg: "/pic/default.jpg"
