Majestic just sent me the link. As you say this has nothing to do with CSS, but for the record it is not an IE bug either. The page in question uses a script that parses the document, looking for png images. Then it *replaces* these images with DIVs to which it applies a filter to achieve transparency. So there is no mistery, if no ALT text shows it is simply because there is no IMG element in the markup. > - The image has a '.png' extension. Changing that extension to > *anything* else, makes the image appear as it should in IE - with > alt-attribute and all. (Rings a bell..?) Because the script ignores other extensions... -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
