Thanks for the new link, that's really cool, it even shows the countries :-)

BUGFIX request for KM1.6 (incl. workaround) :cool:
Bug: [b]Missing images without height/width-tags vanish completeley[/b], if the browser is set to show "placeholders". For example in most forums, like here too, and those are 'important' pictures IMO, not just some decorations to please the eye.

[b] A great test page for missing-image-display:
http://lab.gmtplusone.com/image-placeholder/ [/b]

Okay, that's an age old Gecko bug, but lots of users (incl. me) have real probs with it! While developers everywhere tend to decline it, claiming it were a "feature". Still: It's not decided by the alt-text, whether the broken image shows a hint of its existence or not, and the placeholder setting isn't contained in the standards anyway, if I got this right, so that argument doesn't count. What probably the big majority of users simply want is a hint that at an empty spot there once was an image, regardless of code tags, and regardless what those crazy html gods decide!

For [b]KM1.6[/b] (=gecko 1.9.x) the workaround is absolutely easy: Some internal css sheet or simply the users own [b]userContent.css in the profile folder[/b] needs those lines added:

[b][color=blue]img:-moz-broken:not([width]),
img:-moz-user-disabled:not([width]) {
    width: 22px !important;
    height: 24px !important;
}[/color][/b]

Yeah, users can easily add those lines themselves, but how many have a clue?? 
PLEASE add it to the default userContent.css, or some other way where it's already included by default. 
[b]This does NOT affect the "standards" way[/b] for showing broken images, that idiotic law to show no boxes, only an alt text, without any special styling, looking like just some normal text. If the user is keeping that default setting the above addition will not change anything for him, the dimensions only kick in when he switches to the non-standard "placeholder"-setting!

I also have a missing-images-macro nearly finished for [b]KM1.5.x[/b], which works great already, just as usual am getting driven away again with lots of options and gimmicks *blush* Main problem was having hardly any clue about js and css, but after a year of struggling finally got it working fine now. Just hope to finish it soon, at least before KM1.6 is officially released, LOL![/quote]
