iCab also presents it. And intermediate proxy systems, such as mod_accessibility, can use it to represent a page for a browser like lynx with a description available of each image. And it can be reasonably reliably searched, allowing people who want to illustrate content but cannot see to create pages on their own. Tools such as a-prompt make use of this facility to support accessible authoring. regards Charles McCathieNevile On Wednesday, Jun 18, 2003, at 15:01 Europe/Zurich, Jon Hanna wrote: > >> On my own experience, no graphical browser accept the longdesc >> attribute for img or frames. > > IE and Mozilla both expose the longdesc attribute.
