[thelist] Is supressing the incorrect display of alt text in IE a good thing

Yes, by trying to create a new image and see if it gets loaded, or
testing if there is an image in the document that has been loaded. Be
careful though, MSIE has a nasty habit of not firing off the onload
handler when the image is cached which is why you need to add a random
string to the image source when you generate it. PPK does this in his
image replacement thingy:

With IE, the fun never stops!

Seriously though, why are you bending over backwards because of a
tooltip display that only occurs when a user hovers over an element
long enough to see it happening?
