Re: Empty alt tags

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
