Its fluff, bubbles :) (Our hardworked piccies. Fluff! Bubbles! Bah! ) If they need to be able to see alt text, then it should be in the Content. warmly, Lea -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems - http://elysiansystems.com/ Brisbane, Australia * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *
[WSG] Alt text for background images
Hello, I got the rollover image effect working - thanks for the help there guys! - it still needs refinement in tying in with and or replacing parts of the hardcoded calls in the overall code but I know I am on the right track at least! And even better (heh heh) is I have reduced the nuber of http requests and not resorted to Java ;-) However, I have another question relating in part to this as well as other multiple uses of background: url() on the site. In the case of images turned off in the users browser, how can one get a textual replacement for the missing image? As it is an embedded CSS background image, there is no ALT tag to fall back on :-/ I am using the title tag in the tag, but that only provides a reference if the users hovers over the image. Hmm.
