Speaking about appropriateness of alt for images: Wonder if anyone has noticed that since the past 4-5 days when one pulls up www.google.com There is a new background image for the Google logo after the Sign-in link. Take a look at the source code snippet for the alt and title attributes: ... src=/logos/jeffkoons.gif width=242 height=145 border=0 alt="By Jeff Koons" title="By Jeff Koons"> I was perplexed why JAWS says "By Jeff Koons" when I open up the Google page since the past few days. An example from the wild of what values can be assigned to alt for images! Sailesh Panchang Accessibility Services Manager (Web and Software) Deque Systems Inc.
