I've designed a site that uses graphic links in the menu. I've often read that you should also provide text links for search engine spidering purposes and for those that view sites in the text-only format.
But here are my questions...
When a site is spidered, won't it read the a href in the code itself, whether or not it's attached to an image?
Also, if you use the "alt" attribute with your image, would not a text-only browser display that?
And lastly, if you are using a java menu which is linked to an outside javascript document, will that get spidered by search engines? On the last site I did, I used a javamenu like this so I included another text link menu at the bottom of each page just in case.
Lots of question, I know, but thanks in advance for your help and info.
