thierry, i do belive that this is more intuitive. thanks for your input. i think that text saying that the text link leads to a longdesc of the work. how does that sound to the group. should work well in a screen reader too.
as for the scripting, i have no clue how to do it. my education has not gone that far yet. it is a major draw back to being just a designer and not a developer. there is still much i need to learn (js, php, mysql), but $$$ is the hold up at the moment. books help, but some instruction would be most valuable. dwain On 2/2/08, dwain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > you are saying put the longdesc on the text rather than the image. i will > be adding text saying that if you click the image it will take you to the > longdesc and click the text link to take you to a larger version of the > picture. > > i see your point though. i'll give it a try and put the page back up for > more comments. > dwain > > On 2/2/08, Thierry Koblentz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > On Behalf Of dwain > > > > > > > > > here's the link to the example: > > http://studiokdd.com/sandbox/abstract-christian-art-new-testament.html > > > > > > i have the jesus and disciples pic set to the long description and the > > text link to the larger pic. > > > > > > any feedback would be appreciated. > > > > Don't you think this approach may confuse sighted users?
