    6 It sounds like the title attribute should not exist if the alt is an empty string. Perhaps a conditional editing of attributes can be employed as such:

     7> Using alt is indeed THE method to accessibly name images for screen readers and other assistive technologies. the title attribute is ALWAYS suplemental information that is only then referred to if alt is not available and not "". So if alt is "", title will ALWAYS be ignored.

     17and then output in the <img> tag alt, whether or not it is an empty string, and title only if it is not an empty string.
