Try CSE's HTMLValidator (http://www.htmlvalidator.com).  It will not only=20
find all missing ALT attributes but also other HTML syntax errors like=20
improperly nested tags and any other invalid markup.  It's not as stringent=
=20
as the W3C Validating services but it's highly customizable and its error=20
messages are often less cryptic.  As far as client side HTML checkers go,=20
it is the best there is and integrates well with a variety of HTML editors=
=20
including HomeSite and NoteTab Pro.

HTH!
