    So the fact taht the image src in FireFox looks different in FireFox than it does in IE doesn't seem shady to you? Please explain why rewriting the img src="XXX" isn't shady...

    Nothing shady going on here, but I can see why it looked that way to you.

    The problem is with the way IE saves an html file - It actually modifies the source, and what you were seeing (the 'keyword stuffing'), is not actually the true html (the true html is the firefox code)
    When you save a file with IE, it automatically saves the images in relative paths on the harddrive. In this case it created a folder with name 'Bed In A Bag, Bed-in-a-bag, Bed In A Bag Sets, Dan River Bed In A Bag, Bed-in-a-bag Sets_files', and all images are saved in the subfolder, therefore it looks like it stuffing.

    To see my point, save the file again in IE, but this time name it 'x' instead of the default name. The code will now look like src="x_files/322372832.gif"
