Text and Images from Slide

(l) How to fix scripts

• Try to design your site so that it will function properly without JavaScript
• Add functional text to HTML elements that incorporate Javascript for actions (such as clickable images, image maps, etc.) via tag content or tag attributes such as "title" and "alt"
• Good: <a href="javascript:myFunction();">Start myFunction</a>
• If you must use mouse-based event handlers (such as onMouseOver or onMouseDown), use along with keyboard based event handlers (such as onClick, onKeyUp, onKeyPress)
• Avoid some event handlers altogether (onDblClick, onChange)
