People with learning disabilities or cognitive disability may prefer graphics with their text. This can be as frequently as one graphic per word, often above the word. More able students may have a graphic per page, or at the beginning of each sentence There should be a simple way to lock an image to a word, so that they scale together. Where these are links, people using a keyboard don't necessarily want to tab through two links for each word and image when they refer to the same link. Using tables for layout is one method.... There doesn't appear to be a simple CSS solution to either of these issues. Anyone have any suggestions or require further clarification? as an example using xhtml strict 1.0: <div id="img1"><a href="where.html"><img src="rgba.png" alt="Sabina" / ></a></div> <div id="list1"><h2><a href="where.html">Where</a> can I get help?</ h2></div> How could one write this so that it would validate, but only have one href for both "Where" and the image? This issue isn't that complex, but may not have been considered by the CSS working group. The current result is that the majority of webmasters resort to using tables for layout as this allows text and graphics more readily to be associated in a predictable fashion.
