Thanks Joelle! Great article. As for the ALT, it also shows the short
text for the sighted readers when the pointer is over an image. I know
it works on IE, but on Firefox ALT does not show anything.
So I add TITLE. For example <img src="someimage.png" ALT="some image
short description" TITLE="some image short description"> Then the
description appears both on IE and Firefox. I do not know if it is right
or wrong way to do it (any idea?), but at least the text appears on both
IE and Firefox.
