Details

read text on page. there should be a broken image icon (as there was in Nav4x) indicating that the path img src is referencing is incorrect. currently, nothing is displayed, except for a very minute, dot where the image (referenced by img src) would be.

After thinking about this a bit I decided that no we shouldn't do that. Refer to bug #1994 for details, but basically if we're following the spec then we shouldn't be displaying a broken icon at all we should display the "alt" text instead. Since there is no "alt" text probably nothing should be displayed As far as this particular example goes, if you specified width/height attributes on the IMG tag then we would display the broken icon within the space you specified
