When I used LYNX v2.6 I got the following: ArrowCommunity Groups ArrowUser's Homepages ArrowCommercial Web Sites ArrowVirtual Domains ArrowStorage Space ArrowOn-line Databases ArrowSearching Your Site The word "Arrow" was lined right up against the link text "Community Groups" in the first example. The HTML source was: <a href="#community"><img width=13 height=8 src="/vicnet/arrow.gif" border=0 alt="Arrow"><b>Community</b> Groups</a><br> On my own web site, http://nwlink.com/~chuckop/ I have this HTML: <h1><img src="3dnew.gif" width="68" height="68" alt="What's New Logo" align="middle">What's New</h1> LYNX displays this as: What's New Logo What's New Note the space between the ALT text and regular text. Maybe this has something to do with the <b> tag in the first example? -----Original Message----- From: Jason White [mailto:jasonw@ariel.ucs.unimelb.EDU.AU] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 1998 8:02 PM To: HTML Guidelines Working Group Subject: RE: Lynx and ALT text I tried creating an HTML document of my own that would reproduce the problem, but with no success. A page with respect to which the problem occurs is at http://www.vicnet.net.au/websites/ Perhaps those who have access to several different browsers could investigate and report their findings. I still think this will turn out to be a user interface issue, probably specific to lynx, in which case it does not belong in the markup guidelines.
