Hi Gang I don't know if this is off topic, I thought I'd risk the post anyways.
I work for a commercial company and they naturally want the best search results and all that go with it. I have convinced them to not spam the alt tags, that we need to keep them proper for accessibility. In fact, our site almost gets a AAA rating on WAI and I've done as much as I can to keep to the spirit of the standards. However, I have a question for those of you interested in accessibility. I currently have an image with an alt (attribute) tag of "photo of a laptop with coffee and rose petals" Now, I know this is not the greatest description. It was sort of a dig at the requirement to use the silly image. However, it's time to fix it and I'm thinking of replacing it with this: Purchase insurance online with the convenience of a laptop as seen in this image Do you think this is pushing the boundaries of the alt attribute? I think it is short and does describe the image with more interesting copy than the original. What do you think?
