Cool hidden images in IE

I got some funny pics, of a clown, but when highlighting the image using IE, there is a hidden picture. But using firefox, I could not get the hidden picture. Know why this happens with only IE? Secret messages could be posted through IE without people noticing it.

Hey! That's pretty cool. I suppose someone just pulled a trick using their knowlege of how FF and IE render highlighted images.

That is pretty cool. It's the same little trick of using "white" text in Outlook Express; when highlighted (or select All), you can read it. My guess is that Firefox doesn't use the same color reversal scheme when something is selected. What I'd like to know is how "they" make pics like that in the first place!! Seems like it would be a ball

Not sure if this is what you mean, but the "why" is that they are just trick pictures designed to do that.

Had to copy it into OE, as I'm using Firefox now, but, hey, not bad! Any tips or tricks you can share? I wonder if it would work on an avatar?
