That's why I filtered it with
if(document.all) ...
AFAIK only IE in the world understands the propriety document.all syntax.

That's right. Visitors using internet explorer, having images turned
off but js turned on for some reason will not get any alternatives.
If it is possible to detect whether images are turned on or off via
JS, that may be a solution.
if js disabled -> Alt text will be displayed incorrectly as a tooltip.
Nothing to do.
if js but no image -> if we can detect, we will not clear the alt text.
if js and image -> remove the alt text.
Is there any luck in detecting the disabled property of images?
