[WSG] Apply ALT tag to background image?
I've got a background graphic designated in my style sheet - is there a way to apply an alt and/or title tag to that or would I need to just not make it a background image? My intuition is the latter - but just if there is a slight chance.. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Apply ALT tag to background image?
No, there is no way to apply ALT to the background images, only for IMG tags.

Re: [WSG] Apply ALT tag to background image?
You can only apply the alt attribute to img elements. If you need to provide an alt attribute to a CSS background image then the background image should instead be an img element. Use the img element for images related to the content and keep all images related to layout in your CSS. - Original Message - From: Kristine Cummins To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 12:22 PM Subject: [WSG] Apply ALT tag to background image?

Kristine Cummins skrev: I’ve got a background graphic designated in my style sheet Backgrounds are decorative and do not need alt *attributes*. Therefore CSS does not have a way of providing alternate text. If it is part of the content and should be seen by search engine bots and screen readers, it should be put in your (X)HTML.

You can only apply the alt attribute to img elements. 13.8 How to specify alternate text [1] The alt attribute must be specified for the IMG and AREA elements. It is optional for the INPUT and APPLET elements. http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/objects.html#h-13.8 -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

I would also make sure a way of turning the music off is immediately apparent.

[WSG] Safari 3.1 OSX Safari 3.1 Windows
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could tell me or could point me to a reference of the differences in web page rendering between operating systems for Safari 3.1 Ideally I'd like to test for cross browser rendering issues on a Windows platform. Are there significant differences in the way a web page is interpreted / rendered between Safari 3.1 OSX and Safari 3.1 Windows?

Re: [WSG] Apply ALT tag to background image?
Hi, If it's a CSS background image then it's not content and doesn't have an alt attribute. (The non-preferred alternative is to to put it in an img tag with alt=) If it IS content, it should be in an image tag rather than CSS background image, with the alt attribute describing the content of the image (or its function if that's more appropriate).

[WSG] The correct way of placing a swf file into a XHTML webpage
Hello, I am currently working on a site that has a small flash file for decorative purposes. I inherited the site and want to make it web standards compliant. The problem: the XHTML code in the site is using the embed tag for the flash. Is there a way to place swf files into a XHTML webpage that will allow the page to validate? (I believe the embed tag has been deprecated.) Any links to references would be appreciated.

Hi Dory, You can use '*object*' tag for embedding flash files. Refer this link: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay Thanks!

Re: [WSG] The correct way of placing a swf file into a XHTML webpage
use javascript to insert the flash, which will also auto activate the flash in IE and do some flash player detection something like swfobject would do the trick http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/ On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 4:09 PM, Mahendran Venkatesan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Dory, You can use 'object' tag for embedding flash files.
