<<Yes! And that thought is called an ALT= attribute. In the `new' HTML 4.0(1) DTDs, ALT= tags are in fact _mandatory_ on every IMG tag. Remember that the blind are to use the web, too... Similarily, people may choose to turn off images if they're on low bandwidth, or just want a cleaner page.>> Yes, I did forget this in my original post. I was _thinking_ it, though. :-P And indeed on my website which I make in pure WordPad, I do include ALT= tags on all of my images. <<I think comparing PNG with Flash is... well, not good>> Yes, it's like comparing a beautiful jewel to a bloated cow. Sorry.... <<My point is, make the page look _good_ for the top 95%, and make it _usable_ for the low 5%.>> I agree. Thank you for correcting me. <<But, on the other hand, is amazingly much simpler (you can quite easily write a GIF reader in a couple hundred lines of C -- just counting the .c files in libpng and zlib gives over 25000 lines of code) :-) But we've got computers that are powerful enough now, I think>> The point is that libpng and zlib are _already written_ for you. And anyways, have you ever read the PNG format specification? I'm just beginning to program C, and have no prior experience with any file formats at the bit level, but after I read the PNG spec I understood that it was beautiful. It's simple and it makes sense. GIF doesn't make sense to me. <<Yes! :-)>> Cool! :-D Stephan "unsigned long int" Lavavej _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.exu.ilstu.edu/mersenne/faq-mers.txt
