Hello Randal, > My initial thought is that the ALT should include the description of > the image, Right, the alt-text is the text equivalent for the image. Imagine you tell somebody through phone what you see: this is the alt-text. (shortcut: WYSIWYT => What you see is what you tell :-) > but then should it also say to click on the image to see > the larger version? This is the value of the a-tag's title-attribut. In theory. In praxis, not every screen reader would speak out title values. Or a person able to see but browsing with images off would not understand that the alt-texts are clickable. So, an alt-text like image description plus " - click for large image" is helpful. I can imagine another way in adding a notice "Click on any image to see its large version" before the image list, this would reduce redudancy.
