What ever you do, make sure when they are listed out that they are unique in the link text. I've seen too many, far too many galleries with nice text on the page but meaningless drivvel in the links. -- Jonnie Apple Seed With his: Hands-On Technolog(eye)s On Feb 20, 2006, at 10:16 AM, Patrick Lauke wrote: > Randal Rust > I have a site that I am reviewing that uses photo galleries.

So yes, I'd go with your hunch that it could be the TITLE for A. Depending on what other information you're providing on the enlarged view, and whether or not the images in the gallery have a sensible titles, you could probably go for something like <a href="..." title="View full details and large version of image"> <img src="..." alt="[TITLE OF IMAGE]" /> </a> or similar. IMHO, of course. Patrick ________________________________ Patrick H.
