<form ...>
  ...
  <input type="image" src="foo.png" alt="some image"> 
  ...
</form>

If the image (foo.png) is not found, alt will be displayed as expected. If
images are BLOCKED the button is gone since the alt-text will not be printed.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the form as shown in details
2. load page
3. block images
4. reload page
5. try to click the button ;)


Actual Results:  
'Button' is gone ( invisible )

Expected Results:  
'Button' alt attribute should be displayed

This is actually the intended behaviour, see bug 180620 comment 24.
Indeed, this bug should be invalid, not duplicate.
I know that should be invalid.
I duped it, because bug 180620 explains everything
I think we should avoid doing that because it creates unnecessary mails and
noise in that bug.  A short reference like the one I gave in comment 2
should be enough IMO.
