Description Dan Bullok 2004-02-24 01:01:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I uncheck "Automatically load images" on the "web behavior" configuration page.  Images are not loaded, as one would expect.  However, the alt text is not shown.  In place of images, I just see  blank areas.  The alt text should be shown instead.

Still broken in KDE 3.2.2

Comment 2 Michael Jahn 2004-09-10 02:27:46 UTC

Bug 87901 also suggests showing the border of images that are not loaded.

Comment 3 Allan Sandfeld 2005-01-08 13:26:39 UTC

Is this only a problem when "load images" have been disabled?

Comment 4 Dan Bullok 2005-01-08 17:32:21 UTC

Yes, this is only a problem when "autoload images" has been disabled.

I just noticed that this is a wishlist item, but it really isn't - it's a bug.  Did someone change it to wishlist, or did I mistakenly give it wishlist status?  Showing alt text when images are absent is part of the w3c standards, I think.  It's an accessibility issue.  I can't do page accessibility testing with konqueror without this feature.

I really want this feature because i disabled images so i load site faster,but i cannot see the alt text. For example open www.linux.org with elinks(a text mode browser) : you will see the alt and it is easy to browse the site,but in konqueror i have to guess :{(
