on the left side of this page, I see the text "spacer.gif - 46" and other
similar output, part of the document source that is leaking into the content
model.  Will attach test case...
Component: Parser → Layout
it's actually the alt-text that's showing through.  makes this page look really
bad, IE and Nav don't show the alt text for this page (presumably because
they're finding the image?)

Kipp -- this looks like another alt-text bug in layout. Here's a reduced text
case:

<html>
<body>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="90%">
  <tr>
    <td  valign="MIDDLE" ALIGN="RIGHT">
      <IMG SRC="images/spacer.gif" WIDTH="30" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0"
ALT="spacer.gif - 46 Bytes">
    </td>
    <td>rick</td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

As agreed with Beth, assigning myself as QA contact for all 'alt text' bugs...

As far as I can tell, we are doing the right thing. If you agree, please close
the bug.

Buster, you're a cracker. Kipp's right, and we're doing what the HTML4 spec says
for images that can't be rendered
Summary: HTML source leaking through into document → Images don't load, alt-text displayed inappropriately
ah, but IE and Nav are perfectly able to load the images, and for some reason
we are not.  When you ran it on the remote page, did you see the alt-text or
the images?  There's no way for me to know whether this is a necko image loading
problem, or a problem with the image frame not properly displaying an image.  I
don't think it's invalid at all, though it may not be layout.  I'll leave that
for you and warren to work out.
I think you should reopen the bug.  I've changed the summary to reflect what's
really going on.
I'm not going to reopen the bug. I have too many other bugs to deal with. There
are already at least one bug assigned against Necko saying that images that
shlould load are not loading. I think we have that covered
fine.  submitted necko bug 12974.  this one can stay closed.

I don't know of any necko bugs about this. I'll let Gagan verify what's going
on.

Resolution: INVALID → DUPLICATE
I'm marking it a dup of bug 12974, which broke out of this bug, since it is
exactly the same URI, the same problem, and bug 12974 was specifically created
to get this bug closed. Bug 12974 isn't just a duplicate of this bug, it is
actually a clone.

gagan: If you agree, please mark this bug verified. Thanks.
