Get the selected image record from the database... If you'll remember that the original poster mentioned "dynamic content" which does not specifically mean images. Your solution works fine if you know in advance what the content is going to be (images with numbered IDs), but if you want to be able to use whatever content you like without having to create all of the output in advance, you will find the approach I proposed to be more flexible.

RE: Content Placeholders
I wouldn't add the overhead of looping and regex finding where it is totally not needed. Get the selected image record from the database... If a qry.column is "" replace **image1** with nothing Else Replace it with Pretty simple... You could also just do it based on whether or not the image file exists... First, Query for the selected image Then... If filexists(imagefile) Replace **imageN** width img tag using imagefile Else Replace **imageN** with nothing Again, pretty simple. Using the "ALL" scope will replace ALL occurrences of each instance you tell it to... no need for looping and searching and extracting and then relooping the extracted content and replacing and putting back... etc... etc... ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I would approach this by using a regular expression with some looping to pull all of variables out of the content and put them into a list or array. Then, you can loop through the results, generate the content for each variable (or discard invalid ones), then replace the variable in the content with the generated content. If you made a recursive process to do the replacements, you could have variables in your generated content as well. -Justin Scott ~| Download the latest ColdFusion 8 utilities including Report Builder, plug-ins for Eclipse and Dreamweaver updates. http;//www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs%5adobecf8%5Fbeta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:285569 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Content Placeholders
Yeah, I was thinking about some type of conditional logic that would parse the entire html to look for an instance of **image01** to trigger the replace.
