@longdesc A "negative" use-case!?

Monday, 23 August 2010

@mattur said:Barry McMullin would be well advised to use a normal link on his image, thereby avoiding making the long description "actually unavailable to people who might benefit from it". I think you may be missing the point here. @mattur said: This is not a use case. Yes, it is. Zero is also a value. And whats more this is in an /interesting/ case that highlights issues with: 1) The need for a capable long descriptor. 2) What some content may be like without one 3) The need for better AT vendor implementation of spec content. @mattur said: Laura can eliminate her "visual clutter" links with the following CSS rule: img{border:0} Something tells me Laura may already be aware of that :-)
