I guess this is one of those where you would need to 'define' accessible pretty tightly. Can you let people know it is an ad - Yes Allow for them to select the ad and follow it to some description of the product - Yes The way these things work you really can't just put up an appropriate Alt tag, I could however envision something like a D link that provides a page stating that the banner may be one of the following .... There is also a way to do this using server side scripts, but that would introduce other problems since not all servers support the same ones or even their use at all. (I know it could be done with PHP, perhaps somebody else could weigh in on the use of Perl or ASP.) And now with SVG you could probably make some of the ad content more directly accessible (well in the near future anyway) My experience with SVG is pretty limited so I don't know if it is a format that will find favor with advertisers the way animated gifs have.
