Hi everybody !
I have a suggestion for ALT attribut (IMG tag). Why don't we use it with full HTML syntax and not just with simple text. I mean, what do you think of such use :
<IMG SRC="pictures" ALT="<PRE> ._.<BR> / \<BR> / \<BR>/-------\<BR> | |_|<BR> | __ |<BR> | <A HREF=door.html>||</A> |</PRE>"> My House !
Which could be displayed like this:
._.
/ \
/ \
/-------\
| |_|
| __ |
| || | My house !
^
|___________ here a link
This could be useful for terminal browsers which does not support imagemap, or for users who don't load pictures to save bandwidth, or when you print the page in a text layout.
Of course this means a very strict use of (") or something like [] or {}.
That was my suggestion.
Ph. Jausions
