RE: [Dynapi-Help] alt tag of DynImage?

[John S. <joh...@se...>]

One reason for them would be to provide text when the user mouses over.  The
title tag would do this as well.

Another reason is for Disability Standards.  I know there is a lot we can do
to make sites more 'disabled' friendly.  Blind people who use the internet
use readers that essentially 'read' the web page.  When it comes across an
image, it reads its alt tag, if none exists, it says something like 'image'.
