ALT specifies what replaces the image when it cannot be displayed. It should *not* be a description of the picture, unless the description is relevant to the rest of the text. Using ALT="[swirl]" is evil - almost as evil as the infamous ALT="[Company Logo]". The swirl is a decoration and carries no information. Hence the alt attribute should be empty. -- %%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % http://www.iki.fi/gaia/ %%% "" (John Cage)
