Isn't it quite self-evident that providing alternate text for several hundred images is not practical? The only reason I made an interface around the image directories on that site was to make it slightly easier to browse. Whether or not alt is required doesn't really affect my tiny insignificant application though. If I care about validation and alt was required in HTML5 I could just use <img id="viewer" alt> instead of <img id="viewer"> and all would be fine... -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
