I don't think so. The situation I am thinking of is <applet class="something" ...> Some useful text tht can be rendered when the applet doesn't appear </applet> not the situtation where the stuff is somewhere else (on that account I agree with you) cheers Charles On Wed, 23 Feb 2000, David M Clark wrote: Charles, The way I understand it is somewhat analogous to d-tag/longdesc. The content may, in fact, be elsewhere in the doc, but the only way to verify 1-to-1 correspondence is by having it an alt. dc ------------------------------------------------------------------- David M.

I'm not sure this is a good requirement. What do people think?
