img tag in firefox vs IE

I know everyone is in love with firefox but there is an annoying quirk I've noticed as compared to IE. (am i the only one that thinks web development in IE is like 100x better/easier/faster?)

If i have an img tag like this:

<img width="75" height="75" alt="Hey, its me!" width="75" src="http://domain/mypic.jpg" />

If the mypic.jpg image doesn't load because it can't be found on the server or whatever, in IE it keeps the 75x75 dimensions and puts the alt tag inside that space.

In FF, it disregards the dimensions all together and thus screws up my entire layout as it puts the alt tag in a straight line.

Is there any way to resolve this?

Thanks,
Aaron

Hi Eric, thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately it's the same result
