Dear all,
though I use the WWW validator service regularly, I have not joined
the WWW-Validator mailing list. Nevertheless, here is an occasional
suggestion for improvement of that service.
Every now and then, there are reasons to include an IMG in a header
line, e. g. a Logo, as in
<H1><IMG ALT="Juris" LONGDESC="longdescs.html#Juris-Logo"
SRC=juris-30-8.gif height=38 width=83
align=top hspace=0> at the Universität Konstanz
</H1>
, or even to use an IMG instead of plain text in a header, as in
my page <http://www.seeseiten.de/user/tck/jugend.html>.
In these cases, the Outline option of the validator yields
incomplete,
occasionally even misleading, information, e.g. (from the page
mentioned above):
> # Tanzclub Konstanz e. V.
> *
> - Tanzhippos
> -
> - Tanzen macht tierisch Spaß
> - Vorturnier-Gruppe Latein
> - Hipp-Hopp
i. e., two empty items.
I suggest that the ALT text of any images contained in the
headers be included (with the plain text) in the outline,
possibly marked <CITE>..</CITE> to distinguish it from the
plain text.
Thank you,
Otto Stolz
