you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Two great examples of accessibility fail from London:

a door to the back entrance of Great Scotland Yard, paint peeling, which contains a wheelchair icon and the sign disabled persons entrance, right above the single step to the door.

A plaque with the wheelchair icon and the phrase Welcome. Touch here for assistance. Next to restaurant which has a step up and a table with a single chair outside the step on the pavement. The plaque is, incidentally, at least 4 feet off the ground and behind a pole.

Note: Using Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. hovering over an image does not show you the "alt" text. The hover=alt thing only happens in Internet Explorer.

When those browsers do show you something on hover they show you the "title" text for the image - which is really what the title text is for, after all. You won't visually see "alt" text unless you use view-info or something like that.
