Anyway, I’ve added the alt attribute as well to make you happy.

I was referring to my delusion and your meeting as two different entities. I seriously don't know what you were thinking I meant by: "Though I bet it was good while it lasted." It was the lasting experience of meeting someone world famous outside of the internet. :) Mr T. I was referring to my delusion and your meeting as two different entities.

I think i was about 14 as well, when i got to meet Miss Universe 1989 (Angela Visser, Holland). I was at boyscouts at the time and there was a local radiostation in the same building. She came over for an interview there... The only things i really remember is that i couldn't believe she was a miss universe. Because she was really squint-eyed. But i guess the judges weren't looking at her eyes... I had a similar experience once. I think i was about 14 as well, when i got to meet Miss Universe 1989 (Angela Visser, Holland).

That's why the <code>alt</code> attribute is valid for <code>INPUT</code> elements. Mr Wellock: you're one sick puppy! :) Robert, I don’t think the value is used at all with type="image" (other than as the parameter value in the HTTP POST request).

Shouldn't the <code>value</code> value be displayed if it can't show the image or if you have images turned off? Tommy,

Your submit button has <code>type="image"</code> but not <code>alt</code> attribute, so Opera shows it's default alternate text, which is 'Image'. Try adding <code>alt="Send"</code> to the <code><input></code> element. I looked at the source.

Yelling car, icy looks; the works, basically. :-) But we did have a real hockey goal that our dad had managed to get for us.

Do you yell out "CAR" when a car comes down the road and you have to move the net out of the way (with an icy look at the driver for interupting the game)? Did you use a "real" net or just a couple of snow piles or bricks? Can't say that I have met anyone famous (well, just Joe Clark but, well, he probably wouldn't participate in a beauty pageant).

Yvonne was runner-up to Hyqert (that beauteous being with 7 gorgeous legs and that stunning 5th eye!). There was 683 contestants that year. Yvonne was the best candidate earth's given to the pageant in a long time, so this is still an excellent memory you have.

I applied for a job, a long time ago, in Eskilstuna where she's from. As I was driven from one part of the company site to another, my driver was very proud to point out the soccer field where Yvonne used to play. In fact, he talked more about her than about the job offer. :) I've seen ex-Miss Sweden Johanna Lind a couple of times. When she won the pageant, I didn't get it: I didn't think she was all that pretty. But when I saw her in real life, I understood why. She's really gorgeous, but somehow the photos didn't convey that.
