Yup, that's what the "alt" attribute of the img tag is made for ;)

Well, I still don't agree with the way you did it. Why didn't you just put a <a \
...><img ></a> code in the cell ? That would be much cleaner, wouldn't it ?  Actually \
no. Well, considering that ownCloud is (probably) not supposed to be indexed by \
search engines and scraped for content it doesn't matter that much but still. Let me \
explain; 

Semantics. That arrow is a visual representation for a menu. It's a design element \
that doesn't have any definite meaning - it can be interpreted differently depending \
on the observer. From the semantic point of view you shouldn't use "meaningless" \
elements in your markup. HTML is a descriptive language used to define the meaning of \
content and not their visual representation. Therefore a text such as "Options" makes \
way more sense because it gives actual meaning to that arrow. This reasoning is very \
abstract and applies mainly to public websites. Crawlers, scrapers, search engine \
spiders and other mechanical readers can understand the content of such sites. 

Still, what if there's a blind user using a screen reader? Screen readers don't \
understand graphics.  _______________________________________________
