[WSG] Using my Image replacement technique to create graphic menus
I'd appreciate any comment that would help me improve this article: Article: http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/TJK_tipMenu_demo.asp Demo: http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/TJK_tipMenu_demo.asp Also, I'd like to hear opinions about the real value of *text* vs. alt attributes. I know some say images are *as good as* text as long as they have the proper ALT attribute. Thanks. --- Regards, Thierry | www.TJKDesign.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

I know some say images are *as good as* text as long as they have the proper ALT attribute. I like text better because I think that putting an image of text into markup is equivalent to putting your font, text color, background, etc, into markup. Both make those attributes impossible to change in the CSS (which makes alternate/user stylesheets REALY fun). 2c *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

Both make those attributes impossible to change in the CSS (which makes alternate/user stylesheets REALY fun). Are user style sheets normally applied on a per site basis? The normal methods for setting them are global, and I suspect it would be rather hard to write a generic stylesheet for blocking image replacement techniques. At least with regular images a user can turn them off and get the alt text (which can be styled in at least some browsers, Firefox being the test case I just ran though). The best way to deal with the problem is to not use images of text at all. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

But these *are* regular images; and if you turn images off you should get *real* text. --- Regards, Thierry | www.TJKDesign.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
