LQ:: I don't want the screenreader to see it unless the user of the screenreader explicitly asks for it. D-links describe what images look like and thus tell the non-visual user that she's viewing a visual page. As an author, I want every user to think that the page is made specifically for her, so I don't want the non-visual user to get distracting remnants of anything visual. The description linked to by a D-link is not important for communicating the content of a page. The content of the image is expressed by the ALT attribute in the case of the IMG element and by the element content in the case of OBJECT. -- Liam Quinn Web Design Group Enhanced Designs, Web Site Development http://www.htmlhelp.com/ http://enhanced-designs.com/
