W3C Validation Question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 01.2004

Dear Member,

When I try to validate my site [URL=http://www.eldertravelclub.com]www.eldertravelclub.com[/URL], I get a message, [b]Page not valid html 4.01 Transitional.[/b] I checked the errors and there all ALT attribute error for my spacer.gif image(Which is not an actual image).
Question: Is it wisely to add and alt tag to a spacer.gif to get a valid W3C validation. If so would it be search engine friendly.

Thanks,
rsadik

@AdamGundryJul 01.2004 — The easiest thing to do is to include the alt text and leave it blank (i.e. alt=""). Of course, you shouldn't really have spacer images (or nested tables, for that matter) at all.
