chrome ignoring images with blank src=""

[sourabh-shankar]

Following code is working in FF but not in Chrome:
<img id="testimg" data-src="big-image.jpg" src="" />

$("#testimg").lazy({
delay: 5000,
effect: 'fadeIn', 
effectTime: 1500
});

After debugging, I found that Chrome ignore images that contain blank "src" attribute. If I add dummy attributes to code above, the plugin works fine.

1. <img id="testimg" data-src="big-image.jpg" src="dummy" />
2. <img id="testimg" data-src="big-image.jpg" alt="dummy" />

Is there any workaround, I don't want to add dummy attributes just to make it work in chrome.

TIA

Which version of Lazy did you used? In an older version was a problem like this. Just to be sure it's not that thing. :)
