ALIGN

SUL & AIR Conventions

All IMG tags should include an ALT text unless the img is strictly decorative. Not only does it help people with non-graphic displays, it makes your document useful visually impaired people using alternative reading devices

Optional alternative text as an alternative to the graphics for display in text-only environments.

Example

<img src='graph1.gif' alt=' [Graph of Sales Growth'] '>
<img src='myprettyface.gif' alt=' [Face] '>
<img src='fancyline' alt=' ------------------ '>

Value(s)

Default Value

ISMAP

Many servers and browsers also support the ISMAP attribute. This attribute marks the image as an active image map. This allows the user to click the mouse over the image and have different regions of the image cause different actions.

Note that for the ISMAP tag to have any effect, some configuration must be done at the server. On some servers setting up an imagemap is quite simple, on others the process is more involved and may involve some programming. Merely including the ISMAP attribute in an img tag in your document will not magically make it a 'clickable map'.

Example

    <a href="http://machine/htbin/imagemap/sample">
    <IMG SRC="sample.gif" ISMAP>
    </A>
