I agree with Bill, that if the rest of the requirements (images contain alternative information, the page is designed properly, etc) then rollovers are just a presentation aspect that aren't crucial. They can be done in CSS - see W3C's home page for an example that uses colour highlights on the links in the top navbar - and done right you get the effect however you navigate. They can be helpful for people - not least to find where they are on a dense page. cheers Chaals On Tuesday, Jan 14, 2003, at 11:18 Australia/Melbourne, Bill Mason wrote: > > At 03:12 PM 01/13/2003, Matthew Smith wrote: >> However, what's bugging me is the need to provide an alternative >> handler; is this really necessary when the function itself doesn't >> actually do anything worthwhile? > > No, since presumably doing nothing "worthwhile" means the function > doesn't affect the usability of the page if scripting is turned off. > > Bill Mason > Accessible Internet > w3c@accessibleinter.net > http://www.accessibleinter.net/ > > -- Charles McCathieNevile charles@sidar.org Fundación SIDAR http://www.sidar.org
