If a content provider don't care about accessibility, why would they care about validation? They can leave out the alt-attribute whether it is required by the spec or not.
933.
by olavk 14y ago
Yes it does. It provides the information that the image is purely decorative and can be ignored in a text-only representation.

It is probably the up/down arrows.

You indicate than an image is purely decorative by providing the attribute value `alt=""`.
936.
by olavk 14y ago
In HTML5, the `alt`-attribute can be left out there is no way to provide an appropriate alternative text. The spec provides the example of "a blind photographer sharing an image on his blog". In general though, the `alt`-attribute should be

You are critizing Pixar films for having something in common? In animation we have different styles, Akira, Wall-E, Cindarella, Mononoke, Belleville, Grave of the Fireflies all very different, from different studios and directors. All Pixar

You compare to some of the absolute masterpieces of animation, which might never be surpassed. But Pixars movies are still among the very best in the genre. Its like saying The Godfather is mediocre because it is not Citizen Kane.

Who said it was stupid? Evangelicalism is one of the fastest growing Christian denominations AFAIK, so arguably it is a quite successful belief. Of course it is unscientific, but that is a different issue. It might be smart to deny science

Regarding evolution, I believe the denial of evolution is something characteristic for american evangelicals. Most other christian denomination either accept evolution or doesn't really have an opinion on it, and AFAIK it is not really a ma

The simulation hypothesis doesn't change anything with regards to science, though. Experience shows that the simulation has some kind of consistency that allows us to make predictions. Science is a systematic way to explore how the simulati

The Golden Ass very clearly have a moral or educational purpose. It also have plenty of hidden meaning in the sense that it is an allegory. But morals have changed over time, and being a pagan work, the moral is very different than in chris

A redesign of the Python core language will not convert PHP users. Python is already much better than the PHP language. The benefit of PHP is that it is widely supported by hosting providers and because the default mode of web development (

Do you mean that this kind of error can be prevented at the DB level? It is only possible in very trivial cases, like you know a man can't be pregnant. In the DB you can only ensure that data is internally consistent, not that the data en

by olavk 14y ago
Check constraints. But DB constraints seems like the wrong level to fix the problem. If it happens often that an non-pregnant person is registered as pregnant, then it might happen with women as well as men. Perhaps even more often! This ca

It is not an act. He is not a stand-up comedian or actor, he is a writer of self-help books about lifestyle and relationships. He uses exaggeration, hyperbole and humor to get his point across, but he do actually sincerely believe the cor

No, Borat etc. are clearly acts separate from Cohen. Christensen is not an actor, he believes what he says, although he uses exaggeration to get his point across.

He is not a comedian but kind of a pundit and lifestyle expert. He sincerely believes women are getting stronger and more successful than men, and men have to fight back. For the sake of entertainment he presents his viewpoints in an over-t

He did get into trouble for saying that "some negroes do look like monkeys" on national radio. But generally he is more known for controversial relationship advice and armchair heroics.

He is not a comedian, more like a fashion, lifestyle and relationship expert. When he says that men should learn to say "shut up, bitch" it is not intended as a joke but as legitimate relationship advice. His viewpoints are well known, an

Same thing happened with OO, where people have been discussing whether C++ or JavaScript or Python or Smalltalk are "real OO", rather than discussing if the patterns they support are useful or not.

Python has added list and set comprehension syntax, which are just as functional as eg. map and filter. So I don't think it is functional constructs in general he is against, but rather specifically the lispy idioms with map, filter etc. wi

That is a somewhat misleading representation of the "Law of Jante". It is not specifically about achievement or success. It is rather a "small town syndrome" (Jante is a typical small provincial town) which says you shouldn't try to act as

It is not "making a case" to state that character entities are "obnoxious" and backslash should be used instead of ampersand. It is stating a preference without providing any kind of justification. And what do you suggest is the meaning of

In particular longer hair and more elaborate hairstyles become a significant identity and fashion statement in the period. Hats hides that. Elvis Presleys hairstyle was iconic. He couldn't wear a hat like eg. Frank Sinatra did.
