Hello,
Are we trying to push CSS so much that the img element no longer gets
used in xhtml? The cornerstone to creating a good layout for a site is
built upon semantic markup, using the elements for their correct
purpose. Yet, I see such a push for the use of no images directly in
the structure because, in most cases, it is for design purposes only.
In the case of images that are the bulk of the information, such as in
online galleries and portfolios, would those be 'allowable' in the
structural markup? They can always be styled and repositioned...
I mostly ask for myself since I am trying to rebuild my portfolio, and
just trying to hack all my images through CSS (especially for images
that are going to act as links) is becoming a major pain. And I realize
that this is probably not the best project to throw myself into learning
'real' CSS layouts and design, but, unfortunately, I don't have any
other projects pending right now, and this is the only thing I can truly
concentrate on.
Well, I was just hoping to gain some of your thoughts on my above queries.
Matt
Also, if you know of a way to do image links purely through CSS, I would
love to here those too.

Hi again,
I wanted to say something more about the navigation
through the "large" images. Websites or the creators of
the websites usually do not add the *accesskeys* for the
navigation through gallery, but I have found it a great help.
For example, I use "n" key to navigate to the next image,
and "b" to get one step back. Those keys are next to each
other on the keyboard and are great help when viewing a
portfolio.
Firefox does it in a good way, when you press ctr+n, it
follows the link which has that "n" accesskey, while IE
just focuses on the link and you have to press "Enter" to
go on in this key-controlled manner. Of course, javascript
comes in as a good tool here, and you can award this
nice feature to IE users as well.
Best regards,
Kaspars
