**What is the problem you are trying to solve?**

An IMG with an empty ALT=”” attribute is different from another one that does not have it at all.

Setting this attribute as empty means that the image is a pure decorative one.

Actually, if the corresponding configuration field is left empty, Liferay print “Image” as fallback, so is not possibile to set that image as “decorative” for accessibility reasons

**What is your project about? (e. g. Intranet, Partner Portal, Enterprise Website, etc**

Everyone

**What is your proposed solution? (optional)**

If the “Alternate text” configuration field is left empty, this should remain empty when printed in DOM.
