1.1.1-1f <img src="noAlt.jpg"/> Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with a blank page. Using IE 5.5 I had a broken image. This is about as useless as it can get. 1.1.1-f2 <img src="gifimage.gif" alt="gifimage.gif"/> Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with an alt text of "gifimage.gif". Using IE 5.5 I had a broken image and alt text. Personally, I don't care if the image is a gif, jpg, png, tif or anything else. What is the image all about? 1.1.1-f3 <img src="bytesImage.gif" alt="34K bytes"/> Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with an alt text of "34k image". Using IE 5.5 I had a broken image and alt text. The size in bytes of the image is useless information. What's the image all about? 1.1.1-f4 <img src="animage.gif" alt="{short description of image}"/> Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with an alt text of "{short description of image}". Using IE 5.5 I had a broken image and alt text. The alt image is not useful at all. I would feel much better on this if we had something that provided base information and a "d" link and/or longdesc. 1.1.1-f5 <img src="nullimage.gif" alt=""/> Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with a blank page. Using IE 5.5 I had a broken image and no alt text. Based upon the name of the file, I'd say it was properly tagged. 1.1.1-f6 <img src="space.gif" alt=" "/> Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with a blank page. Using IE 5.5 I had a broken image and no alt text. Based upon the name of the file, I'd say the image is properly tagged. 1.1.1-f8 (there was no 1.1.1-f7) <img src="hasAlt.gif" alt="A small black dog"/> Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with an alt text of "a small black dog". Using IE 5.5 I had a broken image and an alt text. Well the alt text is descriptive, but is it really a small black dog? What kind of dog is it? Perhaps it's a mutt or a Yorkie. 1.1.1-f10 (there was no 1.1.1-f9) <img src="hasAlt.gif" alt="0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789 0123456789"/> Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with a long lising of numbers. Using IE 5.5 I had a broken image and an alt text. Since this image has nothing that I can go on for what it is or what it's for I would say that the alt tag information leaves me wondering what the heck this is all about. 1.1.1-f11 star.jpg width=5 height=5 Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with a blank page. Using IE 5.5 I had a blank page (I can only image that the image was there and it was a white image, however when I changed the background to grey I still didn't have an image) Based upon the name of the image I think it should have "star" or a desription of the star since there are different types of stars (e.g., Star of David, Star of Bethlehem, Sheriff's Star, solar star, etc.). If the image is used as for an unordered list it should have "list item 1" or such to identify the separation. 1.1.1-f12 bar.gif width=200 height=5 Using Netscape 6.2 I ended up with a blank page. Using IE 5.5 I had a blank page again with both a white background and a grey background. I think this image should have the alt tag of "horizontal rule" or a blank alt text. I depends upon how the image is being used. Sincerely, Lee Roberts Rose Rock Design, Inc. Building web sites accessible by EVERYONE http://www.roserockdesign.com
