Easy answer- use a background image.

Less easy answer - is the image content or just a visual representation of existing content?

I would say the link is the real content and you are adding to that visually with an icon image.

Hi,

what is the correct semantic structure for putting an icon in the website. when I checked youtube , I see the icons loaded with css to a spacer which is 1x1 size. Is that a good approach? I want to show an email id with an email icon with that. can anyone suggest me the right semantic structure .

<span class="email">
<img src="spacer.gif" alt="'>
<a href=mailto:[email protected]>some_email_id</a>
</span>

or
just <a href=mailto:[email protected]>some_email_id</a> and attach the icon with css background property for the anchor tag?

thanks a lot in advance.
