[Jonathan L. Neuenschwander] | I'll second the plea for more than just text inside ALT. One thing I've | discovered users seem to expect is that an imagemap be replaced with a | a menu when images are turned off. No flaming intended, but I really cannot see why you'd want to ruin HTML this way. Parsing the ALT attribute makes about as much sense as parsing the SRC attribute; imagine passing a <IMG SRC="<A HREF...>">. As others have already pointed out, the FIG element does a much better job of solving this problem (and also makes imagemaps obsolete, which IMHO are a lose anyway). I urge you to check out the HTML 3.0 specification at <URL:http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html3/CoverPage.html>. It's great reading if you're interested in HTML. -- Karl Anders Oygard
