if many keywords, in a meta information, m16 shows them in the browser
I was wrong - it isn't the meta, it is in the alt-element...  the description is
VERY long, mozilla shows it..
Summary: M16 shows meta-infos → M16 shows image-alt-text
Yep, it looks like there's some sort of overflow if the ALT string is too long.
The strange thing is, when open the page in IE and do a Save As..., the 
resulting page opens fine in Mozilla.   If I do a View Source, and save from 
that, then the page shows the ALT tags that it's not supposed to.

Triaging clayton's list:
------------------------------

Mozilla just displays ALT-content when SRC url is invalid ( nothing wrong about 
that ) instead of a borken image.

Here is the reduced case:

<html>
<body text=yellow bgcolor=black>
<img SRC="http://www.tolkiens-welt.purespace.de/fake.gif" ALT="Tolkien herr der 
angus" BORDER=0 height=40 width=40>Some text
</body>
</html>

Btw, why would somebody have such a long string in the ATL content. Just curious 
:)
