[Mozile] Mozile & images

I've skimmed through the DOM docs and this is what I think is happening.

Strictly according to the HTML DOM, focus on plain images is not 
supported, hence it has been removed from Firefox 2.

If you wrap an image in a hyperlink the image CAN gain focus and has the 
focus ring. You will see this if you put the image in a link. I think 
this is what we used to get for plain images on their own as well.

Hence I plan the following solutions:

1. Single left click on image - place cursor before image.

2. Double left click - select image.

In don't see the need for the focus ring in either case.

A third option might be needed in the future as a shortcut to 
setting/adjusting image properties. I guess that can be decided when/if 
anyone writes the code for it.

Any comments or suggestions from anyone?

Thanks,

Max
