As Jonathon points out so often, the perception is that text annt be (easily?) presented in a different way by someone who can't use the presentation form given. Disabled people (not people with cell phones) are being flummoxed by text not enhanced by illustrations ... the buttons with text are as difficult to understand by those who can't use the text, as for those who can't enlarge it sufficiently. Incidently, if graphics were put on all buttons that are now too small to show the alt tag, the resultant size would probably allow good usage of that accommodation! Anne Anne L.
