Re: Copywriting for Screenreaders (was Alt text for URL's)

sorry, Mine says alt text for urls.  In that case, the words should never be 
in an image but if they are, the alt text should reflect the exact 
characters.  Why?  Because more than screen readers use alt text.

The subject was alt attributes for images containing graphically
rendered text of a URL. Such images are not decorative and should not
contain null alt text.
