Re: Looper's Delight File Library



Hi CQ,

Back in town.

So, I assume that your screen reader is not able to read the "alt" tags on
an icon image?  Each of these icons has an appropriate "alt" text tag 
behind
it.  Can you check to see if this is an option with your screen reader?

If not, I'll be glad to make some changes to the code to add a small text
link under the icons.  This may take me a couple of days to get to.

Thanks!

Doug
