How essential are those icons? If they are genuinely conveying no information (as your screenreader comments imply) then I'd personally have no problem adding the markup 'placeholders' via JavaScript, and styling their backgrounds via CSS. That keeps your markup clean but still gives you all the benefits of CSS-images. - Bobby ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
