Hi Chuck, Thanks for your response on this subject. A collegue of mine was so friendly to try something, but the result was disappointing as far as IE4 is concerned. I do hope the MSAA (with a MSAA-complient browser/screen reader will do better).

Best regards, Jaap Message from: Jaap van Lelieveld The Netherlands Chairman of EBU commission on Technical Devices and Services E-mail: Jaap.van.Lelieveld@inter.nl.net USING: YARN V0.92 as an offline reader, and UQWK / OLMENU under UNIX for mail and news transfer ---------------- HTML example: The HTML example below refers to three GIFs. 1: has both a TITLE and an ALT attribute 2: only a TITLE 3: only an ALT attribute 1: If present the TITLE text is displayed as the TOOL TIP; OK 2: If no TITLE is present the ALT text is displayed as TOOL TIP; not perfect but ... a historical burden 3: The problems start when you do not ask for the GIFs: A: the GIF is not displayed; OK B: The ALT text is NOT displayed in place as usual; disappointing C: the TOOL TIP still works although the image is not there; looks as a design bug as far as the UI is concerned. All by all not promising.
