(that seems to be the motif) 4. is the font used a serif or sans-serif font? i suppose that no one who approaches the graphic with a tabula rasa would know the answers to the first 2 questions, which indicates to me that this particular graphic isn't a very successful conduit of information... oh, one more question: 5. would you follow this link out of the blue? if so, why? i'm not sure i would if the alt text just said: "RADAR @ AAMR", which appears to be the literal textual equivalent for the graphic... still, there is a checkpoint in WCAG1 (checkpoint 4.2) which recommends providing an expansion for acronyms and abbreviations where they first occur... gregory. -------------------------------------------------------------- CRITIC, n.
