I'm very much in favour of text based navigation - but if an author is going to go with an image based design, then the use of <img> elements with alt text is the sane approach.
But the current web is not solely a text-based medium. Maximum accessibility for both assistive technology and search engines/alternative user agents means that images that are purely presentational should not be in the markup - the presentation layer is where they belong. So sane or not, hiding or replacing text with CSS is effective, as Russ's research proves, and popular, as the current crop of showcase CSS sites demonstrate. It's certainly the approach that I favour. -- Kay Smoljak business: www.cleverstarfish.com standards: kay.zombiecoder.com coldfusion: kay.smoljak.com personal: goatlady.wordpress.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
