Jane, I don't know the specific guidance from the PN site to which you refer, but there are a couple of useful resources on this: The W3C WAI guidelines on the ALT and LONGDESC tags are a good place to start: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-HTML-TECHS/#image-text-equivalent The RNIB provide some really sensible guidance on ALT-tag content at: http://www.rnib.org.uk/xpedio/groups/public/documents/PublicWebsite/pu blic_alttext. hcsp Finally, there is an excellent article on writing ALT content as well as an in-depth look at the ALT attribute and other HTML4 attributes for providing descriptive content: http://www.htmlhelp.com/feature/art3.htm Hope this helps!
