Let me say it again without anything that may mislead you. You
know how desperate I am to help you Boji.

When you have an <img src="whatever.jpg" width="300"
height="150" alt="picture of Italian seagull in Sweden">, some
browsers not only provide a 300px by 150px space for the picture
when loading the page but also /display/ this space with a
border even though the picture fails to load. Getting it?

Actually I am very sober (sort of pathetic 2 glasses of wine
with dinner and occasional beer, maybe a good slug of
bourbon/brandy/port if it is around too). I am extremely
disappointed in my drinking, it interferes with the fine
machinery of my considerable brain. Nevertheless, I have
possibly wild liberal views on drugs except where any of my
family are concerned... (psst... wanna see an article I wrote
about the drug laws?).
