Author alt text flashes before image renders

In Firefox the alt tag's text flashes before the image is loaded. This makes
for a somewhat garrish experience and I wondered if there is some way to
suppress that. I'm not too concerned as IE doesn't do that.

Thanks.

What is the weight of the image? If it loaded faster, you wouldn't see that
alt attribute's (it's an attribute, not a tag) contents, right?

Maybe set size attributes? I was going to look in detail, but couldn't
find a single page that didn't load nearly instantly and without the
effect you are talking about.

I don't think so. The alt text is shown if there's no image to display,
so I'd call it normal behaviour.

Yes, I have alt tag with a long paragraph and title tag ="". The image is about
65k. That alt tag flash happens when the image is loaded the first time, even
from my local system's web server. Once the image is in cache I don't see the
flash. It only happens in Firefox.

'alt' and 'title' are attributes, no tags.

Try the same thing with a 6K image file.
