Details
You're ignoring alternate text of "", i.e., <img alt="" src="some file..."> and using the filename of the image instead. You should display no alternate text if alt="", since in many cases alt="" should be used for images that are merely decorative and would not be missed at all. FYI, the HTML 4.0 spec has some very good suggestions for how to come up with alternate text: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/appendix/notes.html#altgen Previous issues relating to alternate text were discussed in bug 1994. This probably requires the equivalent of the DOM's Element::GetAttributeNode rather than GetAttribute. This may also be related to bug 6052.
