You can modify your code a bit :

HTML

<img id="client" border="0" alt="" height="90px" src="Admin/client_image/<%# (DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.client_img_path") == null) ? " default.jpg=" : DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.client_img_path" %>" width="80px"></img>

What I have done here is, before assigning any value to src we first evaluate the DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.client_img_path"). If it is null then assign Default.jpg else assign the value of DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.client_img_path").

Hope this helps.
All the best.

Why not try altering your SQL Statement to use this
syntax:

SQL

SELECT id, name, ISNULL(pictureurl, 'Default.jpg') as PictureURL
FROM Users

This will replace any null values in field "pictureurl" with "default.jpg"
or

try this:

<img>
src='<%#iif(container.dataitem("image")="","images/no_img.gif",container.dat
aitem("image")) %>'></img>

hope this helps,
