Linked, Blocked Images Should Display Something

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID: 2002020406
Currently linked, blocked images are not displayed,
but neither is any indication that their positions
remain active. This leads to unwanted link activation
when users click on the "whitespace" still occupied.
I tend to trigger this behavior when using a mouse
click to refocus a window. This is also troubling
for sites containing sidebar advertisements that
fit within, but do not fill, document margins.
Idle clicking can lead to undesired document
requests.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
1. Visit site with linked images.
2. Block the image server delivering
the linked images (I use slashdot.org)
3. Reload document.
4. Notice that linked images are hidden,
but still active.
Actual Results:
---------------
Images were blocked. Links remained
active. I, as a user, had to recall
from memory where active areas of
"whitespace" remained.
Expected Results:
-----------------
Mozilla should have indicated where
active areas remain even after images
positioning those areas are blocked.
Possible Solutions:
-------------------
Possible solutions include display of an
image's ALT or TITLE attribute values and/or
placing a border around linked images that
have been blocked. A more drastic solution
would be to deactivate links for blocked
images. I don't think the latter is a good
solution, as I (at least) use blocked images
for navigational purposes (e.g., Slashdot
logo).

Damn. Duplicate of <a

Sometimes I could kick myself when I trust a term search too much.
