The point of the original post that started this discussion was that accessibility should target *everyone* - and for sighted users with a text browser, there should be a visual cue akin to that of a horizontal rule. "Section divider" simply doesn't provide the same visual impact that "----------------------------" does. Even a short line, with a description, like "---- section divider" would be better then a text- only alt attribute. -Chris -- <!NOTATION SGML.Geek PUBLIC "-//Anonymous//NOTATION SGML Geek//EN"> <!ENTITY crism PUBLIC "-//O'Reilly//NONSGML Christopher R.
