Hi

when I add an image automatically has its name as image description, even if I leave this box empty in HTML I can see that image has alt=" " tag ...

and when user go over image with mouse I get a empty alt can I add a image without this alt tag ?!

where I should look for workaround

Thanks
Dirk

If you omit the alt tag, the html will no longer be strict. I suggest you keep it there!

It looks like there was a space in the alt tag you had. Try adding alt="" (without a space).

Shame on you

Try educating your client about accessibility, including the legal requirements (depending on your country) to create an website accessible to as many as possible!
