Hi. I'm new here and have a question for you: I recently started working
with the Section 508 Accessibility extension to Dreamweaver (4.01), and I'm
getting "fails" on decorative images with null alt text (alt=""). As far as
I can tell, the tool only recognizes null alt text as legit for spacer (size
1) gifs. Is this the case, or am I missing something obvious?

Do I have to rename these images to include the word "spacer"?

Thanks!
Leslie
