What does "adopts images as category generalization" mean? What happened on shashdot that now seems successful to you? What does WAI need to take note of? I see that slashdot uses images/icons for their list of topics http://slashdot.org/topics.shtml - is that what you are talking about? I'm glad they have the text caption below the images, because with out them I would have no idea what the icon represented. It is also very "chatty" on voice browsers & screen readers to have both the image have alt text [tool tip] and the visible text below the image - you hear everything twice - bad in my opinion. Regards, Phill I don't visit http://www.slashdot.com often enough to know when this happened, however it seems successful to me. Anyone have a clue when this was adopted? Will WAI take note? btw I recently chose the MonaLisa to link to the Louvre. tx jonathan chetwynd IT teacher (LDD) j.chetwynd@btinternet.com http://www.peepo.com "The first and still the best picture directory on the web"
