RE: [WSG] horizontal list menus based on images rather text in css..WORKS NOW
I guess the issues to consider are: - What happens to people who have images turned off. - How will a seach engine index those links. - How will a screen reader read them? - What happens if your page is printed (by default background images won't be printed) - which may or may not be a good thing.

- What happens to people who have images turned off. That's the most painfull issue. Good solution is http://wellstyled.com/css-replace-text-by-image.html (Second solution) - How will a seach engine index those links. Well. - How will a screen reader read them? Well if you use something like http://www.mail-archive.com/wsg@webstandardsgroup.org/msg13318.html - What happens if your page is printed (by default background images won't be printed) You have to use a print stylesheet... -- Jan Brasna aka JohnyB :: alphanumeric.cz | janbrasna.com Stop IE! - http://www.stopie.com/ | http://browsehappy.com/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

- How will a seach engine index those links. Well. I was more meaning the lack of anchor text to give the likes of Google some juicy words to associate with your website. I don't claim this to be a definitive source, but for example, from: http://developers.evrsoft.com/article/internet-marketing/link-developmen t/links-and-link-building-with-google.shtml Anchor text This is becoming ever more important- some say THE most important feature. The use of anchor text is one the biggest boosters to keyword searches. Consider the following: - A) To visit our partner Domain names partner aclick here/a B) Click here: aDomain Names/a to visit our partner. Which is the best? Assuming the pages are otherwise the same Page Rank wise? B) Is clearly better because the search engine now associates (http://www.discountdomainsuk.com) with the phrase domain names (the top phrase in the domain name market) with the site rather than the word here. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Actually ... C) Click here for TLD akeyphrase/a and registration by our partner, e.g. - Click here for TLD *domain names* and registration by plibbleandco. This reinforces anchor text as it is not seen in isolation but with reference to surrounding copy.
