I'm not sure I follow. Isn't the whole point of the empty string as alt that the image can be totally removed from the non-graphic rendering as in Safari+VoiceOver and Lynx? (And that's why it is so bad to use the empty string alt on images whose presence needs to be announced for the surrounding page to appear sensible.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
