Hi All, Again my point isn't to single out any web site mentioned but rather to explore the issues raised. I've noticed this more and more where there are double links to items, often I believe because the web designer wants a graphic and text to both be clickable. Maybe it is just me but it is frustrating to have to read or tab through the same link twice. The most recent example of this I noticed was on <<http://www.adobe.com/>http://www.adobe.com> with links talking about the new Acrobat 5.0. In the Adobe case I believe even the text is really a graphic of the text which has been properly alt tagged. The actual page is at <<http://www.adobe.com/>http://www.adobe.com>. Below is the section of the page in question, although you will want to visit the original page to see the graphics. Is there anything we can advise to turn such designs into single links or is this just something that is due to the design with no good solutions? Should the alt text on both images be identical?
