Hal 6.5, Window-Eyes 5.5, and HPR 3.04 all ignore both alt=" " and alt=" " - only JAWS 7.0 does not ignore the second case saying "graphic". Undercuts my argument a little. But I still think including alt=" " as acceptable is a mistake. Jim Accessibility Consulting: http://jimthatcher.com/ 512-306-0931
