Details

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 Coskey

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.
