Well, one of the problems I have is the ALT parameter on images. In some web browsers, the ALT is interpreted as a tooltip, which completely sucks because let's say you don't want to display tooltips on your images. So, for now, I've been doing ALT="". So, I'm in a Catch-22 here. What do you recommend?

Yes Internet Explorer shows a blank tooltip if the alt attribute is blank. Use a blank title attribute like this,
then the tooltip won't show up at all.
Funny how a 1x1 spacer.gif image should be accessible to visually impaired people while other people won't see it at all. Maybe it's time to revise these screen readers...

<img src="myimage.png" alt="" title="" />Funny how a 1x1 spacer.gif image should be accessible to visually impaired people while other people won't see it at all. Maybe it's time to revise these screen readers...
