Do you know that other (the large majority) of visitors are able to view the
images on your website? or are you referring to 'a very small percentage' of
people who have *reported* the problem to you.

Again - a URL would help.

Yep. So what?

Sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't. Most times I do. I don't see the
point of using it if it's empty.

Yea, I was joking.... I imagine it's even more annoying for non-image
browsers to have an empty alt tag, than something at least entertaining...

If it's of any use to anyone, the person was running Norton Personal
Firewall and for some reason, this was blocking some JPEGS.
Don't know why, but thought this may be of some use to anyone out there who
may have a client chewing their ears off about the way their computer is
set-up.
Thank god, I hear you say, I'll stop busting your balls about this now. OK
Charles?
Thanks for all your help.

Are you in Glasgow or is it just your webspace?

I got a DNS error on your site.
