That was not my point. "A graphic representing a wheelchair is a symbol for accessibility" is a piece of information that is not found elsewhere in the document. I'd say this "info" may be redundant for people without visual impairment but not necessary for the ones with visual disabilities. I'd agree with Lachlan that the title attribute would be more suited here but I'd say we should also consider screen-reader user's settings. Which one of the two attributes has more chance to be spoken? --- Regards, Thierry | www.TJKDesign.com ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
