Hi Jamie, In general I reckon this is an error on Bobby's part - D-links are a de-facto standard since people have been very slow to get around to implementing longdesc. I would keep using them if I were you, although I would add the same link as a longdesc for the img elements (there are some browsers that can handle it now). I wuld also use a title to give the explanation of what the D-link is about, and make that specific to each image. (Interesting content, too <grin/>) cheers Charles McCN On Wed, 24 Jan 2001, Jamie Mackay wrote: I get a P2 error from Bobby telling me: 'Do not use the same link phrase more than once when the links point to different URLs'. The examples it refers to all relate to my 'D' links which point to the same page but with different anchors for each image, eg: desc.htm#baxter desc.htm#mason Is this an error with Bobby, or something that can/should be worked around?
