When using window.print() images show up with their alt text instead of the
actual image.  I will attach a test case in a moment.  If you use the href to
print the image won't print but if you use Print off of the File menu it's
prints fine.

Adding some JS and img people to the list in case they know of any similar bugs.

This happens with the print link in mapquest in win2k.  Here's a link in

(sorry for the long line)
I don't think this is just a linux bug.

is it possible that this may be related to bug 89151 ?

What a mess of dupes!  I chose this one because it shows the alternate text
instead, and it only happens when I use the js link.  If I don't use the js
link, it only prints a portion of the map.  Bug 89151 seems to talk about both
problems.

Works fine with todays 094 build on WINNT, and bug 89151 has been closed so
marking this WFM.
