For years, web developers have been looking forward to that next feature, that new and monumental shift which has allowed them to break away from the shackles of obsolescence and adopt new and forward thinking technologies. But it is beginning to come full circle—that thirst for new technology has slowly brought us back to square one, reimposing the constraints that we have, for years, tried to rid ourselves of. Moving forward is holding us back.

A suitable alternative—on proper use of alt attributes
January 26th, 2010
Images in HTML come with a mandatory attribute used to textually describe the information displayed visually through the image. The alt attribute (not tag) is used by screenreaders etc to tell users who can’t view the actual image what it represents. It is also used in any circumstance where images can’t be loaded (slow connections, broken URIs etc).
