Adding an empty alt attribute for accessibility validation

[adevendorf]

Accessibility validation tools will report an error because the zoomed image created does not contain a required alt attribute. I've set it to an empty string.

Looks good to me, thanks!

Just use a role="presentation" attribute. Presentation images has no need of an alt attribute.

A blank alt is not good for acessibility, is just more junk code.

<img src="[src]" role="presentation"><!-- valid code -->

@odahcam Sounds good, thanks

Actually, an empty alt text is the recommend way for ATs to ignore them. Having no alt is also not valid HTML.
