I am going through a large website (1600+ pages) to make it pass Priority 1 W3C WAI.  As a result, things like image tags need to have alt attributes.

What would be the regular expression for finding img tags without alt attributes?  If possible, with a wee explanation so I can use to find other issues.

I am in an office with Visual Web Developer 2008.  The Edit >> Find dialogue can use regular expressions.


Question: What does "to become controversial" mean?
Answer: What this is trying to say is "when a translator makes their presence felt, that act generates controversy". That is, a translator who makes their own changes to the text that might not be justified by the original, causes people to become upset about those changes.
