Quoting Designer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
What is the current wisdom about the syntax of alt tags? I believe that if I have a decorative image I am supposed to put a blank tag. But I've also been told that the tag should be alt=" ", NOT alt="", because with no spaces (or one) the screen reader will announce 'blank' whereas with two spaces it remains silent.
I believe that this is outdated information. Current best practice is to use alt="", which should not create any issues in current screen readers.
