Why are you replying to this thread when you haven't got a clue?

You missed a hell of a lot of messages if this is the only one you got.
You missed about 20 or so messages leading up to the point. If you jump
into the middle of a thread, and you can't find the original, then keep
your dumb ass out the discussion.

For your info, placing a <pre> inside a of the alt=" " tag causes the alt=" "
tag to end. Thus screwing up the ascii image insode the alt=" " quotes. 

If you had bothered to check up on this and read all the messages, you would
know that this was the case. Check out what is going on before you shoot your
mouth off.

Yes. They would still work.
