For details, consult guidance on providing text alternatives for images. I think the "text" part there make the meaning of the image in the button clear, and shouldn't need an extra alt tag. Kurt 66953 1 mike 2012-04-23 20:23:20 +0000 The validator behavior conforms to the HTML5 spec. If you believe the spec should allow <button><img src=foo>text</button>, please consider filing a bug against the spec itself: http://w3.org/brief/MjA2
