As long as it makes sense when read out of context, it's fine. It would be tough to provide something meaningful in this context though as the space is rather small. Alt is too small. Long desc is not supported widely so you are left with some alternatives. The alt could say something like "a group..." and the page could go on to fill in the details or you could as has been suggested provide a page of descriptions. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rebecca Cox" <rebecca@cwa.co.nz> To: <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Sunday, November 04, 2001 9:55 PM Subject: mugshots I'm making a page about a group of people, with small photos of each person, and wondering if it would be appropriate to try to give as alt text / longdesc, something equivalent to the information you would get about each person, from looking at the photos. ie age, ethnicity, style of dress etc (being polite of course!) What do people think about this? Rebecca
