And you would choose not to add a description if the image was simply decorative. The alt attribute is supposed to provide the equivalent content to the image, so if the image serves no purpose other than decoration, you should have an empty alt attribute. For validation and accessibility reasons, you wouldn’t want to omit the alt entirely.

(You could argue that purely decorative images should be included as background images, but that’s not practical in a CMS).

Okay, so it’s something Moxiecode have introduced, wrongly in my opinion. I’m pretty certain some earlier versions of TinyMCE didn’t do this.

Basically, TinyMCE is stripping empty alt attributes (alt=""). It leaves alt alone when it’s not empty, though.

Anyone know how to fix that, because I want the option for empty alt to be available.]]> PatrickSamphire Jun 22, 2007, 10:02 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/45852/tinymce-stripping-empty-alt-attributes#dis-post-265501
