The big sale ...ends Friday.

    <p><img src="sale.gif" alt="The BIG sale ...ends Friday."></p>"

It's good we have an example of an image of text ad... but usually these days
we have a photo incorporated into the ad image that has words. I am often
instructing webmasters in this case that any words in the image intended to
convey meaning should be in the alt text.



<add>In situations where there is also a photo or other graphic in the image of
text, ensure that the words in the image text are included in the alt text
along with any other description of the image that conveys meaning to the
sighted user.</add>
