Hmm. I've just tried this out and you're right. This seems to me to mean that if people go to the trouble of putting ALT attributes on img tags and they have text split over an end-of-line sequence, the page author has to remember to insert an extra space at the beginning of each line (or at the end of the line provided their editor doesn't strip trailing spaces from lines). Internet Explorer seems to put in a line break in if it finds one in an ALT attribute to IMG, but not when the attribute value is a URL such as with an anchor's HREF. I think that the IE approach is the better. That's the approach my browser takes too (so maybe I'm biased :-) -- Stewart Brodie, Electronics & Computer Science, Southampton University. http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~snb94r/ http://delenn.ecs.soton.ac.uk/
