You are expected to learn such things from tutorials, textbooks, and references. A validator only tells whether your document complies with certain formalized syntax rules. It's like a grammar checker that tells e.g. that a sentence lacks a predicate; such a checker doesn't teach you what a predicate is, or what predicate you should write into your sentence. Forums other than the validator mailing list are more suitable for asking questions about material for learning HTML. But regarding ALT attributes in particular, the most detailed treatise is probably http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/alt.html > and should it be inserted to image tag. That's what the validator message says. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
