Re: [css-d] New website

2010-07-22 Thread Lauren O'Donovan
Hello,

I think you've done a good job overall to the site, which is for an
excellent cause, and best of luck with future improvements.

I noticed that you have text in several images, but this text is not
provided in the alt attribute of the img tag. Having text in images is bad
for a few reasons (even if you do give an alt=""):


   1. People can't highlight it and copy and paste
   2. Blind computer users will not know there is text in the image unless
   you provide this text in the alt attribute of the img tag
   3. Visually impaired computer users (or those who like big text) will not
   be able to increase the text size of text in images using controls on their
   browser


Instead of putting the text in the images, you can position the text over
the image with CSS and it will be much more accessible.

I'm thinking that you knew all this already, but were working with the older
stuff that existed on the website, but just thought I'd reply in case it's
useful!
