Hmmm... so it isn't reading the alt text for test 3. This is indeed strange. Test three is just an ordinary image with ALT text and a longdesc. And the icon bazaar link is also just an ordinary image inside a link with ALT text. Sounds like there is a bad bug somewhere. The page validates against HTML 4 transitional... except that (blush) I omitted the doctype and had AREAS with shape="polygon" instead of shape="poly", but that shouldn't make any difference... especially in images that don't even refer to those areas.
