Sorry, Rimantas, neither of these are relevant to your assertion. You wrote : >> > There ARE cases when alt attribute would do more harm and hurt accessibilty >> > more than lack of it, and spec would allow you to omit it in that case. but your examples are of wrongly used ALT rather than of ALT being intrinsically harmful. Both of the pages you cite should have correct ALT text where appropriate and null ALT text for spacers; what I was hoping you would be able to adduce was an example of a page in which /any/ ALT text (including null) would "do more harm and hurt accessibilty more than lack of it" Philip TAYLOR -------- >> Can you give instances of these ? > > http://www.hookmitchell.com/ - how NOT to use @alt.
