It's not an immediately obvious distinction. In fact, it seems that the natural assumption is that the alt is a "label." You'd be surprised how many times I've heard that "A-ha!" response when it finally clicks that it is a replacement. If you can think of a clearer way to explain this, we'd all benefit. This question gets asked so often on this list. We really need a FAQ that we can just refer people to. Charles F. Munat Seattle, Washington
