LQ:: No, the point of NOSCRIPT is to replace a script, providing alternate content when client-side scripting is disabled or the scripting language is not supported (though popular browsers don't support NOSCRIPT with unsupported scripting languages). There is a key difference between replacing a script or object and describing it. We need to recognize this difference and make sure that we have adequate methods of providing replacements and descriptions where needed (hence my earlier message about OBJECT and LONGDESC). Mixing descriptions and replacements makes them less usable for user agents while screwing my dream of seamless accessibility. -- Liam Quinn Web Design Group Enhanced Designs, Web Site Development http://www.htmlhelp.com/ http://enhanced-designs.com/
