Subject: Re: [WSG] Images as content vs. images as backgrounds
It really depends on the situation, there may very well be a valid
reason
for using an img tag opposed to a background image for textual
content.
For example you could have a list of clients, rather than just
displaying
you may want to display the logos, now adding an id to each logo.
These may
or may not seem like text content to some people because they are
logos
after all, but its a list of clients so text would also be valid
however it
doesnt make much sense using background images because you would
need to
give each image an id and write css for each image.
Another reason you may use an <img> of background image is that you
may want
the image to be on the print version of the page, using a
background image
will not work as default browser settings disabled printing of
backgrounds
by default so the only way to get it to print is to use an <img>.
As long as the images has relevant alt text there is no problem,
you have a
valid reason why it needs to be an image and you are not over doing
it than
I personally think its fine.

Hello list,
I've been talking to someone who thinks that a perfectly semantic
website has absolutely no <img> tags used for text in images. Could
anyone help me find some articles about using img tags vs. using
background images for navigation links or textual content where
images
are being used?
