Charts

Assistive technology at this point is unable to translate charts, so you must provide a description. First provide an Alt description for the image, to announce to the user that an image is present and provide a brief description. Then, use a "D"-link or a Long desc tag to provide additional detail.

Code Example:

<p> 
<img src="../Images/Over65E.jpg" 
width="350" height="231" 
alt="Chart showing percent 
of people over 65 increasing in U.S. from 
1900 to 2050"> 
</img> 
</p>

with a "D" Link:

<p>
<a href="Over65Description.html" 
title="Detailed description of the increasing 
number of people over 65 in U.S.">D</a> 
</p>

or include a Long Desc tag:

<p>
<img src="../Images/Over65E.jpg"
width="350" height="231" 
alt="Chart showing percent of 
people over 65 increasing 
in U.S. from 1900 to 2050" 
longdesc="Over65Description.html" 
title="Detailed description 
of the increasing number
of people over 65 in U.S.">
</img>
