100% ack on that. And just out of curiousity: What is so hard about saying "should be IMG elements with proper alt attributes" or "should be images in the HTML with proper alternative text". If we keep on talking about "alt tags" or "alt-ing images" we'll keep it that mythical geek thing a lot of content editors think adding alternative text is. It is a simple editorial task, and the one responsible for creating the markup - which could be a CMS simply adds the text in an alt attribute. Let's get those alternative texts out of the closet... Alternative text is not a technical issue, it is an integral part of the content of a web page. -- Chris Heilmann Book: http://www.beginningjavascript.com Blog: http://www.wait-till-i.com Writing: http://icant.co.uk/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
