Tried <img src="" ... /> ?
That's the actual XHTML syntax.

An old favorite quote of mine from the validator's mailing list is:
�Nothing wrong with the validator here, it just knows HTML better than you do�
The quote is not meant to be patronizing, but whether we like or not these
errors are not "bogus".  

I am not sure why your script/browser is not working in this particular
instance, but I can assure you than when you write HTML, ampersands have to be
escaped. Always.
