More on disabled access
- This is what BT.com looks like in plain text

-
Blind people use programs which speak the text of Web pages
to them
- The 'alt' attribute of an image tag is supposed to
hold text to substitute if the image can't be shown - for
example to a blind person
-
But most of the images on the BT front page are just
formatting gimmicks
- their alt text should be blank
- or, better still, they shouldn't be there at
all
- Blind people, like other disabled people, have a legal
right not to be discriminated against.
