Well I suppose the subject says it all. For search engine purposes I am curious whether my web page heading (done in FP wordart) is classed as an image - so does it needs alt tags?

Thank you

Actually what you see rendered on the page is a gif. If you check the code for the wordart you'll see a line like this
quote:

src="default_files/image008.gif" alt="Redvers Clark"

Note that the alt text is already there though it doesn't show in IE (IE doesn't see an image there if you right click on it either:)).
In Mozilla, if you check the properties of the image by right clicking you'll get a message box like this
:)
Note that it shows the alt text for the image.:)
Opera recognizes that there's an image there but doesn't show the alt text.
AFAIK the short answer is yes it's an image but the alt text is already there.

Thanks for that Mike.

Been puzzling about this all day - as I couldn't remember adding the alt text and thought I'd gone mad. Forgot that I provided my url (now I am embarrassed!)when I registered, so I thought you were psychic for a while!
