Hi,
   I noticed that when an image file is absent, the alternate text for the image
does not appear in the mozilla brower.  I am using version 0.9.9, build
2002031104.  I was using my own web page, and my img tag did include an alt
attribute.  I am using a gif file for the image.  I moved the gif file to
another directory and displayed the page.  The alternate text did not appear. 
Can you duplicate this problem?

Kevin, what build are you using?  Do you have a testcase?  I cannot reproduce
this problem on a current Linux build....
WFM win xp build 2002041512
I am changing this bug to resolved.  I have been working on Windows 2000, and I 
had originally viewed my test case on IE and noticed that the alternate text 
appeared there as a tool tip, whether or not the gif file was present.  The 
tool tip did not appear in Mozilla when the gif file was missing, so I thought 
there was a problem.  I couldn't see the alternate text on the web page because 
I was controlling the width of the image.  The width was so small that the 
alternate text could not be displayed.  When I increased the width, I noticed 
the alternate text.  A distilled test case follows below.  Pilot error strikes 
again.  Sorry for the trouble.

Kevin
