I have a question about a site on our campus I was asked to look at. The dedsigner used graphics in the background. The graphics reflect the subject of the site (computers and society) and visually are an interesting part of the experience of the site, though they don't impart any information per se. Those using the text version of this site or using a screen reader do not know there are graphics they're not seeing. I'm concerned (as are the designers) that there is no indication or description of the graphics for such users. Is there a way to add ALT tags to background graphics? Any other suggestions on adding descriptions of the graphics? The site is: http://www.computerethics.org Thanks Jan ------------------------------------------ Janice Hecht Coordinator, Adaptive Technology Services Southern Connecticut State University 501 Crescent Street, EN5 New Haven, CT 06515 Phone: 203-392-5797 Fax: 203-392-5796 HECHT@SOUTHERNCT.EDU http://www.southernct.edu/departments/atl
