Hide black description box when not needed?

In my module some of my images have title and description, other images don't. Should the if-statement in the code say that if there is a description show the black box, if not then hide it? Was wanting to confirm if that is how it already is before I started digging in my template to see if something was overriding the module code.

Joomla 1.6
Hot Image Slider v1.1

Thanks!,

Actually module has parameters:
"Linking Images"
"Image Description"
"Image Names"

using them you can control what is shown and what is not shown.

Hi, thanks. In my module though I have six images and every other image has a title and description so I have to have the Image Description parameter turned on, as in the HOT Effects Rotator demo. I was needing every other slide to show the description and black box. Would I need to purchase the HOT Effects Rotator module to achieve that?

Thanks again.

Well ,you can omit description in every second image by entering blank value, but black box will stay because it's controlled by parameter in difference to hot effects rotator.

Exactly, that was what I was assuming initially. Thanks for the info, I'll work a different route.
