Empty Alt Attributes

Dreamweaver MX provides an automatic way to add empty alt attributes to decorative images and spacer gif's.

As a conscientious Web developer, you know that you should provide an alt attribute for every image. What should you do about spacer gif's and other decorative images that need not description, however? If you add "spacer" or "decoration" to each of these, you force the blind to listen to such meaningless descriptions over and over.

Instead, select your image, and choose “empty” from the drop down menu next to the alt field in the Properties Inspector. You will now find a set of quotes with nothing inside in your code.
