In the techniques document at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH-19990226/wai-pageauth-tech.html#spacer-images it says If authors cannot use style sheets and must use invisible or transparent images to lay out images on the page, they must supply"null" (alt=) or "white space" (alt=" ") alt-text, whichever the context requires. Something seems to have gone wrong with the punctuation here. The lack of white space between 'supply' and '"null"' is only cosmetic, but the suggestion to code alt= rather than the more usual alt="" seems to be an error; at least, when I offered this construct to the HTML validator, it rejected it, which rather confirmed my suspicion that something was amiss. best regards
