TYPO3 Core

can you provide me an example of the code you used?

I performed a test with both TYPO3 6.2.12 and 7(latest master), using the code found here http://wiki.typo3.org/File_Abstraction_Layer:

page.10 = FILES
page.10 {
  references {
    data = levelmedia:-1, slide
  }
  renderObj = COA
  renderObj {
    10 = IMAGE
    10 {
    # import Image
    file.import.data = file:current:publicUrl
    # define max width, cropped
    file.width = 430c
    # define max height, cropped
    file.height = 90c
    # define altText
    altText.data = file:current:alternative
    # define titleText
    titleText.data = file:current:title
    # get typolink wrapped around IMG-Tag
    stdWrap.typolink.parameter.data = file:current:link
    }
    20 = TEXT
    20 {
       # define long description
       value.data = file:current:description
       # wrap description
       stdWrap.wrap = <strong>|</strong>
    }
  }
}

In both cases the result is that in the HTML code you have

alt="" 

and not

alt

Are you sure you did not just look at the code generated by Google Chrome's developer tools, which actually reports the alt attribute without the quotes? (but it is the tool that looks wrong, the source code is correct)
