Hi, maybe a null ALT attribute is more semantically correct than have no ALT attribute. If the program that produces HTML content cannot writte a correct alternative text, so they should let it empty/null. In this way, the HTML will be correct, but ... not accessible yes. Remember, it's up to the program to deal with this situation, not to HTML or to WCAG, or the HTML WG nor PF WG. -- Ivan Enderlin Developper of Hoa Framework http://hoa-project.net/
