thanks elizabeth. the article was helpful. here's my situation. the image that i am using is a link to the longdesc. the title text under the image links to a larger version of the image. now let's ask the standards compliant question.
with text in the content specifying the difference between clicking the image and where it goes and clicking the text and where it goes, would that be standards acceptable? as i read the code, i don't see a problem with screen readers, which is the target audience for this technique. dwain On 2/2/08, Elizabeth Spiegel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Dwain > > See Joe Clark's book, Building accessible websites - online at > http://joeclark.org/book/sashay/serialization/Chapter06.html > > > Elizabeth Spiegel > Web editing > > 0409 986 158 > GPO Box 729, Hobart TAS 7001 > www.spiegelweb.com.au > > > ________________________________ > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of dwain > Sent: Saturday, 2 February 2008 4:33 PM > To: web standards group > Subject: [WSG] long description and its implementation > > > i have looked at the html 4.01 specs and i did not see any examples of how > to implement the <longdesc> element. i am working on long descriptions on > separate pages for each work of art on my web site. i am planning on > placing a "D" link next to the text title of the work on the "main" > category > page. could someone point me in the direction to any other references as > to > the proper implementation of the <longdesc> element? maybe someone would > provide a standards compliant example? > > tia, > dwain > > -- > dwain alford > "The artist may use any form which his expression demands; > for his inner impulse must find suitable expression."
