[css-d] Best IR technique ?
Hi all, could someone advise the best/safest Image Replacement (IR) technique to use: cross browser friendly, screen reader accessible. Seems the classic Todd Fahrner method is not catched safely by all screen readers and just fails if the server never sends the image. Another method suggests to use text-indent:-999em, but causes problems with Ie 5 Win wich will also indent the background-image. A last method suggested by Pixy uses z-index and absolute positioning to cover the text with the replacing image. Is this last method safe and the best one ? Any other IR tricks to mention/point ? Thanks.

BTW: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ImageReplacement A last method suggested by Pixy uses z-index and absolute positioning to cover the text with the replacing image. Is this last method safe and the best one ? This one is bulletproof. If you can live with it's non-semantic overhead, it's best solution. Any other IR tricks to mention/point ?

But don't know if it's screen reader accessible. Anyone know? But I had to change one part of the script: the part that checks for browser support of image replacement. The original script would work intermittently, i.e. one refresh the script would replace images vs. another refresh the script wouldn't do anything. You can see the modified-DOM technique here on my work's project website (with the part I added from Landridge's book DHTML Utopia): http://samples.slackbarshinger.com/ (JS code: http://samples.slackbarshinger.com/js/toggle-image.js) The script replaces the H1 element with the appropriate image. If anyone has any improvements I can make to the scripts, /please/ let me know. I'm still learning DOM. ;-) ciao, Zulema [1] DOM - Image replacement http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/fir.html -- !!blue w e b d e s i g n e r folio: http://zoblue.com blog: http://blog.zoblue.com browser: http://getfirefox.com __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
