Default Two simple questions

Hi
I'm not very advanced with editing and want to ask for some quick help.

I've got Dreamweaver and it's flagging up this problem;
[img]IMAGES/ABOUT.GIF[/img]

and says non spacer IMG with Valid ALT. How do I rectify this?

Also I have this:
[img]IMAGES/HOME.GIF[/img]
which says warning missing "alt" attribute.

I'm sure this is an easily rectified problem and would really appreciate it if someone would tell me the best (and fastest) way of putting these right in Dreamweaver.
Thanks very much!

Question #2 - add alt="whatever you want" to
[img]IMAGES/HOME.GIF[/img]
-This is the text that shows when you hover your mouse over an image.

Question #1 - I don't understand the question. Try taking out the mouseover's ...
[img]IMAGES/ABOUT.GIF[/img] ...that may be required though I don't know without seeing the page.

As nkycomputers said you need to add alt tags to each of these images, you can either do this by editing the code or, as you are using dreamweaver, just highlight the image (by clicking on it) in design view mode and then in the property pane at the bottom of the page add a couple of words in the alt form field to describe the image or the content of the page that it links to (avoid 'click here'). hope this helps,
Carlos
