I agree that the tooltips is a problem. This question is addressed by the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines. In fact it is an implementation detail, but one which is fairly common among graphically oriented browsers. Among graphic designers which don't do this are Amaya, Opera (but it does give popups if the images are links - the link destination is in the popup). I suspect EIA, a graphical browser designed for adults with brain injuries, might handle things nicely too.

Also you are misguided about glyphs, Tv is very popular as are cartoons. Most of our students follow soaps with ease. The sound is not essential though obviously helpful. --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
