Andrew noted regarding http://atrc.utoronto.ca: > The W3C AAA conformance icon's alt should be (IMHO), > "W3C WAI-AAA WCAG 1.0". It will be better when the > abbreviations and acronyms in the > icon's text can be expanded, but in this case users get the same info > whether they are sighted or not. > One purpose of the image is to let people know that the page complies to the WCAG. It's other purpose is a link to the document that describes what the conformance means. So the Alt text should be something like "Complies with WCAG 1.0 level AAA. Description of conformance". > I'd put additional information into > the title attribute, but currently would have a > low expectation that it > would be read. > Jaws 5 will read title. You can also set it to read the longer of Alt or title. Chris
