RE: [WebWisdom] Combining Images to Save Time

B.K.

Can you please review this and comment.  To list members, please feel free 
to comment.

I am on the mailing list for many design tips and found the advice in the 
original email to be short-sighted.  The original message has been Included 
below. After the original message, I have included the text response by 
Bobby and the HTML validator.  I ran the URL through Bobby for HTML 3.2 and 
4.0 and it found the errors listed under
- Using HTML 4.0 Bobby found the following Accessibility Errors.
- Using HTML 3.2 Bobby found the following Accessibility Errors.

Also ran it through the HTML 4.0 Validator and found "this document does 
not validate as HTML 4.0 Transitional".

I want to respond to this list and advise them on Universal Accessibility 
and what is needed to test their sites.  Specifically each page should be 
tested under a validator and Bobby.  Can you please take a look at this 
site and email and comment.

As I am on many lists (too many actually) and want to start responding and 
referring the originators on the lack of Universal Accessibility by 
pointing them to the HTML Validator and Bobby.  As this effort has not been 
approved by the WAI EO, I can respond without involving the EO in name but 
will be glad to copy the EO List in a separate email.

=============================================================
Weekly Web Wisdom: Combining Images to Save Time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

by Marty Crouch, MA


Last week, Kip wrote about optimizing image size for fast website
response. His message was echoed by the owner of the WebSite Garage, who 
said
that the most common problem with websites is the failure to optimize
image size.

This week, we add another trick to speed up your website.

Just as you would think, the number of images you use affects your
page loading time. Surprisingly though, a page with five 20K images will
load slower than a page with one 100K image. Why? Because the viewer's
browser and the host webserver carry on a conversation about each separate
image to be loaded.

Often, though, you can combine several images into a larger image
that will require less storage space than the sum of the individual
images. A common example is navigational buttons.

Let's say you start with a website that has six pages that you want
to link. See http://www.webonrequest.com/issue4/notsogood/. Here, links
in a text table with borders loads fast, but could be thought of as a
sign of a newbie web designer.

You can garner more interest by rendering hyperlinks graphically. See
http://www.webonrequest.com/issue4/ok/. Images and labels are arranged in a 
table, which is a great way to
line them up neatly. Still, the total size of all these images is about
40K. (Also looks like the web site designer didn't read Kip's article, as
some of the images look a bit ragged.)

To improve on this direction, we took the images out of the table.
Instead, we combined the same photos selected by Julie Livingston into a
single image and used an "image map" to create the links. See
http://www.webonrequest.com/issue4/better/. Storage for the larger image is 
only about 12K. A worthwhile savings
when every second of download time counts.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WebSite of the Week: http://www.sensitivepeople.com/
About the Website: Site owner Sue Pouppirt selected images to portray
peace and sensitivity. Page designer Marsha Talley combined them into one
image to create a site entrance that's pleasing to the eye and quick to
load.

Accessibility Tips

This section contains a list of accessibility tips that you should review. 
Please note that there are some aspects
of page design that are important to accessibility but can not be tested 
automatically by Bobby. Some of
these may appear below in the accessibility tips section.

   1.If you can't figure out any other way to make a page accessible, 
construct an alternate version of the
     page which is accessible

   2.Use the ABBR and ACRONYM elements to denote abbreviations and acronyms

   3.Make sure that text, image, and background colors contrast well and 
that color is not used as the sole
     means of conveying important information

   4.Considered adding keyboard shortcuts to important links

   5.Make sure that document structure is supported by the proper use of 
structural elements

   6.Avoid ASCII art. Replace it with an image and alternative text

   7.Style sheets should be used to control layout and presentation 
wherever possible

   8.Provide summaries for tables of data

Browser Compatibility Errors.

The following section contains a list of 16 browser compatibility errors. 
Browser compatibility errors help to
determine when HTML tags and their attributes are not compatible with 
certain web browsers or HTML
specifications. Problems here do not mean that this page is necessarily 
inaccessible. Browser compatibility
errors do not affect the accessibility rating of a page.

Accessibility Tips

This section contains a list of accessibility tips that you should review. 
Please note that there are some aspects
of page design that are important to accessibility but can not be tested 
automatically by Bobby. Some of
these may appear below in the accessibility tips section.

   1.Make sure that text, image, and background colors contrast well and 
that color is not used as the sole
     means of conveying important information

   2.Make sure that document structure is supported by the proper use of 
structural elements

   3.Avoid ASCII art. Replace it with an image and alternative text

   4.If you can't figure out any other way to make a page accessible, 
construct an alternate version of the
     page which is accessible

Browser Compatibility Errors.

The following section contains a list of 16 browser compatibility errors. 
Browser compatibility errors help to
determine when HTML tags and their attributes are not compatible with 
certain web browsers or HTML
specifications. Problems here do not mean that this page is necessarily 
inaccessible. Browser compatibility
errors do not affect the accessibility rating of a page.
