http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/glossary/a.shtml?file=alttag Denise, I mailed the BBC webmaster that the alt tag is not existing. And asked for a correction into alt attribute.. Thank you for the URI When you look in the french google for alt tag (I only choose sites francophones) , you can read that most sites mention alt an attribute of the img tag, so the confusion must be a special english slang problem, caused by people who don't know exactly what they are talking about. Ineke It is curious that the problem does not appear in searches using French Google. I don't think I'll even attempt to speculate on the possible reasons for this problem being so prevalent in English sites. It will be interesting to see whether the BBC responds to your email. If you followed up on all the Web sites referring to "alt tag" you would have a full-time job trying to keep up with the workload! ------------------------------------------- Denise Dr Denise L Wood Lecturer: Professional Development (online teaching and learning) University of South Australia CE Campus, North Terrace, Adelaide SA 5000 Ph: (61 8) 8302 2172 / (61 8) 8302 4472 (Tuesdays & Thursdays) Fax: (61 8) 8302 2363 / (61 8) 8302 4390 Mob: (0413 648 260) Email: Denise.Wood@unisa.edu.au WWW: http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/staff/homepage.asp?Name=Denise.Wood
