The -moz-force-broken-image-icon extended CSS property can be used to force the broken image icon to be shown even when a broken image has an alt attribute.

Syntax

Values

• {{cssxref("<integer>")}}

  • : A value of 1 means that the broken image icon is shown even if the image has an alt attribute. When the value 0 is used, the image will act as usual and only display the alt attribute.

Note: Even if the value is set to 1 the alt attribute will still be displayed, alongside the broken image icon.

img {
  -moz-force-broken-image-icon: 1;

  width: 100px;
}

Result

{{ EmbedLiveSample('Examples','125','125','/files/4619/broken%20image%20link.png') }}

Notes

• This property will only work in Gecko-based browsers.

• The use of this property is not recommended. A proper alt attribute should be used instead.
