Hi Fabio, Very good suggestion; here are some good links for the implementers: * Dive into Accessibility - Readable introduction to the most important accessibility points <http://diveintoaccessibility.org/> * Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - Detailed recommendations from the W3C <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/> * WCAG validator <http://www.tawdis.net/> A couple caveats for point 1: Images which have zero semantic content (spacer gifs, bullets, round frames, etc., if we use any of those) *should* have an empty alt tag. And @longdesc can be used for a long description, for example if you want to include the data of a simple graph in the markup to make it searchable and pronounceable.
Yes, but there's an exception for this rule, the images used as horizontal rules <hr> must have an alt text of two or more hyphens: alt="--". And I discovered today( http://diveintoaccessibility.org/day_22_using_real_lists_or_faking_them_properly.html) that the images used as bullets also have to had an alt text: alt="*"
Cheers
