Yes, and the null string satisfies the requirement. What is required is that *something* is specified, and specifying nothing is different from not specifying anything. The requirement is that the Web page designer think about what he is doing. If no alternative text is appropriate after thinking, then that should be specified. -Chris -- <!NOTATION SGML.Geek PUBLIC "-//Anonymous//NOTATION SGML Geek//EN"> <!ENTITY crism PUBLIC "-//O'Reilly//NONSGML Christopher R.
