Hi Lisa, this question might be better directed to either the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Group - http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL with a mailing list w3c-wai-gl@w3.org archived at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl or perhaps more profitably to the WAI Interest Group at http://www.w3.org/WAI/IG whose mailing list is w3c-wai-ig@w3.org archived at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig Anyway, to answer your question: If you use Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG - http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG to learn more) as a format it is relatively easy to define a stylesheet for images that presents a low-resolution version. Doing this is described in the W3C Note "Accessibility Features of SVG" at http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG-access/#Different and should suit your purposes. cheers Charles McCN On Fri, 26 Jul 2002, Lisa Yayla wrote: > >Hi, >I am a reader of this list.
