I discussed this issue with Hakon Lie yesterday and we concluded a few interested things. First, it seems like a bad idea to add semantics information like ALT text to a piece of style sheet. The reason is that it's possible, likely in fact, that a particular style sheet be dropped in favor of another one by the browser, so any valuable information would be lost. Second, the real place for content is the markup, and in the case of image bullet where a description is needed, the following design is probably better: <UL> <LI> <IMG SRC=car ALT=car LONGDESC= WIDTH= ..> to get the price </LI> and have a list-style-type set to 'none' so the bullet is removed and the image is used (with all its attributes). Comments ? Greg Lowney ?
