User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Empty boxes appear numerous times on the home page (http://www.translink.bc.ca,
and a couple of others within that site).  When viewed in Internet Explorer,
there is nothing there, but the Mozilla browser puts boxes there.  When I right
click on those boxes, and choose "view image," nothing loads.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to http://www.translink.bc.ca
2.  See empty boxes on home page, where they shouldn't be
3.  Right-click empty box, click "view image."

Actual Results:  
It tried connecting to the site to load the images, but gives a "connection
refused" error.

Expected Results:  
Those boxes shouldn't be there in the first place.

The boxes are the intended behaviour, as the images *are* missing. If you want
to get rid of them, either tell the web site's administrator to fix the image
links, or install AdBlock to prevent Mozilla from trying to load these images.
