[thelist] Is supressing the incorrect display of alt text in IE a good thing

[VOLKAN ÖZÇELİK]

in terms of accessibility?

with something like:

function clearAltText(){
/*I don't want microsux internet exploder to display alt text as a tooltip*/
if(document.all){
  var arImg=document.getElementsByTagName("img");
  var len=arImg.length;
  for(var i=0; i<len; i++)
     arImg[i].alt="";
}
}

Or can it have some side-effects?
