I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the standards use of the

images off in IE7 and Firefox but the alt tag

No (which is not to say that they can either), but it does mean that
people using those browsers with images disabled (Gosh, bandwidth on
Vodafone is expensive, I'll turn images off) will have problems.
http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/mapalt.html is a good document on the
