The ALT text displayed when an image is not available will inherit the properties of the containing element. To unify your ALT text you can add a font style to your img:
img { font: 1em arial #000 } Regards ____________________________________ Scott Swabey General Manager Lafinboy Productions :: website design :: website development :: graphic design e [EMAIL PROTECTED] t +61 (0)415 193 126 w www.lafinboy.com -----Original Message----- When you've got an href'd image that's farily large that's being pulled down over a dialup line, you can see the alt text in the background as the image loads. Usually, this this text is a big, blue serif style. Sure, once the picture gets completely downloaded, it's hidden, but during the download process - over dialup - yuck! I've seen some sites that have alt text behind a href'd picture, but the text is relatively small and styled. Does anyone know how to do this? Is it as simple as creating an alt {} rule with the desired font, size and color? ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
