What I do... The logo is an identifier for the site - it is basically a graphic that can be remembered. In text, as an alt, I use the name of the thing being identified - for example W3C. In the title of the image I explain that it is a logo (human redable text about the role of the image in the page) For example: <img src="w3c_home" alt="World Wide Web Consortium" title="W3C Logo" /> (As Marjolein points out, this is different from text intended to be read.) cheers Charles McCN On Fri, 14 Apr 2000, Marjolein Katsma wrote: David, At 07:55 2000-04-14 -0400, David Poehlman wrote: >The word logo in an alt tag belies the function of alt. > >alt is to present an alternative equivalent to, not the function of the >image. OK, maybe I'm dumb. cmn: I doubt it... mk I just don't see a better alternative to the W3C logo than "W3C logo". Can you make up a better ALT attribute that still conveys the fact that it *is* a logo, and not "text to be read"?
