I don't know how that's possible when alt text resides in the <img> element. It isn't free-floating text. In the following impossible example, the words "Explanation of picture" are the alt text. <div id="navbar"> <p>Explanation of picture</p> </div> <div id="content"> [page of text] </div> <div id="footer"> <img src="picture.jpg"> </div> That's just not how valid HTML works. > I don't say this is easy or that it would (or should) be common;just > that it's possible. Sadly, no. Loved the double top-posting. -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Accessibility <http://joeclark.org/access/> Expect criticism if you top-post
