Then I checked my 1998 netscape html reference, which says that the image is supposed to be quackable to submit the form. So, firefox should: display the image if possible and requested, otherwise display some other mechanism for form submission, say, a normal "submit" button. For me, disabling images caused the image to be replaced with a "broken image" button, which worked just as well for submitting the form (at least in my test). However (!), using alt='' inhibits the display of that "broken image" button. So I agree that firefox behaviour could be improved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
