Turning off; Please describe image map...

Is there a way to turn off the constant warning dialogue when placing an image map?

The window that says; ''Please describe the image map in the 'alt' field on the properties inspector....''

Turning off; Please describe image map...

DW does this for web accessibility reasons.?If you ignore this dialogue box, you are rending your page useless to many people who have images turned off or who are visually impaired and can't see them.?Also, Images (site maps included) without Alt text will give you code validation errors.

HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org

If you're still not convinced you need Alt text, and want to disable this dialogue, go to?Edit menu %26gt; Preferences %26gt; Accessibility %26gt; and remove checkmark from the Images box.

Thank you very much Nancy!

I am convinced I need alt text and I use it.?I was just getting tired of being told over and over by the program.
