There is alternative for longdesc

Friday, 27 August 2010

Hello! the main reason to longdisc death is lack of browser support. the main purpose of longdisc in accessibility point of view is to describe more about a complex image.you can get the same effect by adding description below the image and hide it in accessible manner. this will suffice as native alternative, but not accurate one.
