Force Firefox to render empty image within dimensions specified by CSS

Question

All major browsers except FF render images with invalid src attribute within it's dimensions as specified by CSS or by width / height attributes. Only FF will render the alt attribute as it were text node, ignoring dimensions, which breaks layout in many cases.

Is there a way to force FF to render image within specified dimensions?

Answer 1

You should change the DOM element representation

img{
 display:block;
}

or

img{
 display:inline-block;
}

or

img{
 float:left;
}
