--- Comment #4 from Thomas Deweese <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-11-17 05:01:41 PST --- (In reply to comment #2) > #1 Helder, fixing this bug is part of the specification. Where does the SVG specification say that user agents must allow images to be turned off and replaced with any available title/desc element? I should say that it's not at all clear to me how you would 'replace the image' with title and desc. In a tool tip you are free to overflow, but I wouldn't think that would be a good option for an image. > please read: > http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html#DescriptionAndTitleElements > eg: > "User agents may, however, for example, display the 'title' element as a > tooltip, as the pointing device moves over particular elements. Batik already does this of course. > Alternate presentations are possible, both visual and aural, which > display the 'desc' and title' elements but do not display 'path' > elements or other graphics elements." Also I should mention that these lines use the words 'may' and 'possible' rather than 'must' or 'required'. > "Authors should always provide a 'title' child element to the outermost 'svg' > element within a stand-alone SVG document.

Batik will display them (in fact quite a bit of work has gone into displaying them in the face of dynamic modifications etc). > Google currently does not provide search by graphic, so relies on the text. > and one easy historical way for the author to check on their alt content > is to use lynx browser, or switch off images in other browsers. this > applies equally to SVG files. > this is my opinion, and of course I welcome further input, leaving as > needinfo If there is really a spec requirment please provide it. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
