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
Bug 87901 also suggests showing the border of images that are not loaded.
Is this only a problem when "load images" have been disabled?
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 :{(
still broken in kde 3.4 :(
