This is what Safari+VoiceOver (latest release versions) do on http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/articles/ critical_content_no_alt.html The conclusion I draw from comparing the result with http://www.paciellogroup.com/resources/articles/critical_content.html is that in the case of Safari+VoiceOver, human-written title as alt is better than no alt (when the title is not otherwise shown on the list page), but no alt is better than an alt generated from a title generated by Flickr Uploadr from a file name generated by a digital camera. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
