Hi all, I was doing some accessibility work today and ran across a user who's site was "Bobby Compliant" but many of theit ALT attributes contained both the filename and size of the graphic rather than any useful text. This has the potential to cause some problems because such information in an ALT attribute would be useless to the visually impared user and would just frustrate the text-only browsing user. I'd like to suggest that something stating that ALT attributes should contain meaningful content and not filename or image size or it should have nothing in it (i.e. ALT=""). Thoughts?? -- B.K.
