Hi all
I'm just after a bit of advice as when to use image replacements over
using a gif or jpeg graphic. Whilst working on a new project at work
the other day it struck me as to how much I was using image
replacement and if I was going over the top in using it.
Generally I use image replacement for elements such as headings,
titles etc. but I would like clarification as when best to use it for
the following elements:
Main navigation
I've seen many sites which use image replacement for navigation
areas, whilst just as many who use images and alt text.
Buttons
Not buttons in forms, but other general 'call to action' buttons,
such as 'Download Now', 'Email Us'. or 'Buy Now'.
Logos
Logo's are one's that always stump me, should I use the graphical
version of the logo with an alt tag, or simply use text and image
replacement
Images with relevant copy
For example, if you visit Panic's website here: http://www.panic.com/
coda/
and go to the books tab, there is a picture of a book with some
relevant copy a user would find interesting. Again would this be a
candidate for image replacement?
I'm just like other peoples views on these elements and see if
there's a common school of thought...
Cheers
Lee
