Personally, I think the idea of an image as part of a header is fine - associating pictures with words, ideas, etc is good. But a picture of the text you want seems like a bad idea to me, and is explicitly not allowed in most cases by the priority 2 WCAG checkpoint 3.1 When an appropriate markup language exists, use markup rather than images to convey information. That's just my quick (instant) opinion cheers Charles McCN On Fri, 1 Feb 2002, RUST Randal wrote: On another list, someone has brought up the use of images inside of <h1> and <h2> elements. I did a quick search on the archive, and wasn't able to find anything on this. I'd just like some quick opinions. Personally, I don't this that images should be used for headers, unless you need a specific font. Then you could use the "alt" tag. Right? Randal Rust Senior Consultant Covansys, Inc.
