Hello Jon, Thanks for your answer, but can you explain me what is a pet peeve??. Sorry, I cannot find it in my English-Dutch dictionary (I have to buy another one?) I think an alt attribute is not the same as an alt tag and I understand that only the alt attribute is really existing.. Also ..I will put the expression alt tag out of my mind.. so there is any space again for new expressions I have to use.. Perhaps for your "pet peeve"?...:)) Cheers Ineke ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jon Hanna" <jon@spinsol.com> To: <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 1:48 PM Subject: RE: Empty alt tags > It's reasonable to speak of an alt tag.
