Hyperlinks are always underlined, so this might result in some confusion if you use underlining much in your document. Images Images have their very own tag. This code and syntax is borrowed from UNIX-based operating systems. One reason might be that a user is surfing the web with images turned off in his or her browser. Sometimes this is done to save surfing time for those with older computers.
Alternate text is also an accessibility feature.
Those with low or no vision who are surfing the web with a text reader will need the ALT tags to be able to discern what you were trying to indicate with an image. It is always good practice to include an ALT tag. It's easier to remember to do this when you are working with the code than when you are working in FrontPage. However, there is an easy way to add an ALT tag in FrontPage. Look in the Picture Properties dialog box under Alternative representations.
