Graphics


  1. Text equivalents are used for simple graphics.


  2. A NULL ALT is used in your image tag if you have used graphics for layout.


  3. A 'longdesc' attribute is used for complex graphics that may need more in-depth coverage.


  4. A description link 'D' is used where user agents don't support 'longdesc'.


  5. Graphic file sizes are small for faster downloads.


  6. Client-side image maps are used instead of server-side image maps for image maps or images used as links.
