*assuming* Google pays any attention to a link to the current page (who knows? never tested it.) - yes, that makes sense. Basically if you put an image inside an anchor then Google will see the alt attribute as the text of the link (remember that the bot for the main google doesn't pay any attention to the actual image), which means that standard compliant code is good for SEO (yay! we're back on topic! ;)) Lea -- Lea de Groot Elysian Systems - I Understand the Internet <http://elysiansystems.com/> Search Engine Optimisation, Usability, Information Architecture, Web Design Brisbane, Australia ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
