Q3: Do I really need the alt tag on a spacer gif?
A:Well yes and no.
First we'll look at yes.
If you want your html to validate then you must provide an alt tag, something like this will do
You won't get any alt text showing and your page will validate.
If you want to validate for web accessibility then you can't leave the tag empty
You must provide text to validate for web accessibility.
If you don't care about either of the above then hang your head in shame :)
This will work if you don't want to validate your page.
