Re: Position of ALT text on IMG

This seems to solve the various problems where Image
graphics are not loaded.

IMG:placeholder or alt or whatever {
size: full || inline
}

Full would cause a full size block for IMG.

Size: inline (initial value) would cause the ALT text
to be displayed inline, but only when the IMG is
unavailable or when the user has disabled images.

Thus

<div class="photos">
<img src="taj.gif" alt="The Taj Mahal" width="200"
height="200">
<img src="eiffel.gif" alt="The Eiffel Tower"
width="200" height="200">
</div>

DIV.photos IMG:placeholder {
size: full;
}

This is to prevent reflow when the user clicks on an
image to load it.

Or:

<a href="mailto:"><img src="email.gif" height="40"
width="40" alt="E-mail"></a>

A IMG:placeholder {size: inline;
}

Or:

<a href="mailto:"><img src="email.gif" height="40"
width="40" alt="E-mail">E-mail me</a>

A IMG:placeholder {display: none}

If the user insits that they do not want the fullsize
images, they can add this to their user style sheet:

IMG:placeholder {size: inline !important}
