The Ask Jeph thread
tinysmidgen:
What the bloody hell is alt-text? Like, describing the comic with words?
allison:
It's a little text box that comes up when you hover over an image.
Is it cold in here?:
Hold your mouse over any episode of xkcd for an example of how it can be used for humor.
Mr_Rose:
No, that's title text - the title attribute is not the alt attribute - if your browser implements W3C standards correctly, it only displays alt text if it can find (or doesn't want to in the case of Lynx) the image. So yes the alt tag is often a brief description of the content of the image.
Mr. Doctor:
I was reading the basic rules and I was wondering about the images... Gore, porn, that kind of thing:
1) Do you think that the famous scene of "un chien andalou" would be gorish? Because I really want that gif as an avatar. I've been using it before in other forums but the other ones didn't have some kind of rule against those images as long as they were on spoiler. So that's why I'm asking.
2) I was posting and I got this message that I wasn't allowed to use spoilers. What happened? Did I read the message without my glasses again? Or it's some kind of rule?
3) I've seen a lot of funny questions with funny answers following... Exactly how many kinds of things are we allowed to ask you? I mean... Would I get banned if some boring day I decide to ask you a really useless question about the weather or what kind of ice cream do you preffer? :-D
