A quote from the W3C HTML Home Page... "HTML 4.01 is W3C's recommendation for the latest version of HTML. It includes support for cascading style sheets (CSS2), internationalization, accessibility to Web pages for people with disabilities, frames, richer tables and forms."

"Insisting on HTML 4.0x compliance now will preserve your free choice of suppliers of Web software, tools and applications well into the future. With HTML 4.0x, any Web application can be vendor independent. There really is no excuse for tying yourselves or your partners to proprietary solutions."

    Tim Berners-Lee,
W3C Director...
and inventor of the World Wide Web.

"It's not just that HTML 4.0x works across browsers,"
says Berners-Lee.
"It'll work across future tools and Web products. Any serious Web application should be HTML 4.0x compliant from now on."

"The North Australian" strives for HTML 4.01 compliance and encourages others to do the same by learning about the latest specifications and by validating their code.

About the WAI

About the... :-) W3C logo Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) logo The WAI - Web Accessability Initiative is a part of the W3C dedicated to the promotion of creating accessable pages, thereby assisting people with non-standard (eg audi based readers etc.) web access, by correctly coding in features of HTML , required for accessability. So that everyone can can have access in various ways!

This first link below is to a part of the W3C called the WAI or Web Accessability Initiative.

As an example the HTML4.01 specification makes it COMPULSORY to include ALT Text with any displayed image. like...

Example "alt" text HTML code

 

< >

                                 <
      <img id="valid-image"
           src="http://validator.w3.org/images/vh40.gif"
           height="31" width="88" align="middle"
           alt="Valid HTML 4.01!">


The last line is the ALT Text for this example image and is what can be provided as a description for example, if our reader cannot "see" the page, an aural User Agent might READ the alt text to the user. If WWW Browser does not show images or Image Loading is turned off then the description can still be read.

If it is just an image? then you should provide a description of the image.

If there is TEXT in the Image like the W3C Valid HTML4.0x Image below, which is also our example above, then that TEXT is what should appear, as shown in the example.

HTML4.0x provides for an additional LONGER Text description TAG (longdesc) which can also be used.

More about?..

"alt" text cont.

Try looking at some web pages with image loading turned off in YOUR browser to see how the page reads. If you get ALT Text for images then you may understand what the page is about, whereas with MANY sites, you will find mostly images and no ALT text and you will probably find the page hard to negotiate. Imagine being totally blind to fully understand this situation.
