Seconded. Charles On Wed, 23 Feb 2000, Wendy A Chisholm wrote: On the 14 February telecon we discussed how to decide when an image needs a longdesc. previously we said when an image was "complex." in the call I read some excerpts from the National Braille Association's Tape Recording Manual. We decided to incorporate those ideas to replace the phrase "complex image." This is my proposal: <blockquote> IMG element should have a valid LONGDESC attribute and a descriptive link if describing the image will add information not given in the text of the page. The amount of information in the image will determine how detailed the description should be. </blockquote> --wendy -- wendy a chisholm world wide web consortium web accessibility initiative madison, wi usa tel: +1 608 663 6346 /-- -- Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +61 (0) 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI Location: I-cubed, 110 Victoria Street, Carlton VIC 3053 Postal: GPO Box 2476V, Melbourne 3001, Australia
