It should be noted that it would be relatively trivial to make a proxy server which exposes longdesc appropriately for users who need it. So the fact that longdesc is not CURRENTLY widely supported should not be a disincentive to doing this. It's even easier to do this if you're serving up XHTML pages; just run a simple XSLT to convert <img longdesc="url" .../> to <img .../> [<a href="url">longer description</a>]. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Customer Management/Edapta Reef North America Tel +1 949-567-7006 ________________________________________ ACCESSIBILITY IS DYNAMIC.
