No, alt provides a replacement for the image, not a description. Using a description leads to delightful webpages like http://www.btplc.com/age_disability/ (picked on becuase it was the first bad example I could find) which has: BT Logo - link to bt.com * Does it really matter that its a logo? * It has an <a> around it, the browser knows its a link and can tell the user. * Where else is something labeled "BT" likely to link? And if there is somewhere, then why not include that information for people who can see the image? -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
