Opera renders good now - even if the pager pictures do not exist ;-) Lynx uses the alt attribute to display the picture's name since it does not display the picture itself. So at least for this browser the alt attribute which describes the link is really neccessary. Netscape uses the alt attribute to pop up a little ballon which shows the image description. Other browsers as mozilla use the title attribute for the ballon. I think it is a good way to have both attributes meaningful since the pager icons only says not that much.
