Ah, I see. This page has obviously led you to the incorrect conclusion that
there are such things as "Alt-text Tags", also mentioned in your subject
line.
Well, there is no such thing. There is the alt attribute of the image
element, meant to be displayed when the browser can not display the image.
As to exactly what a D-links is: I have no bloody idea. That page up there
you quoted is a load of crap. Pay no attention to it.

Yes, right, I am going to google for a term that the OP should have explaned
up front? I don't think so...
See http://www.mainecite.org/
The use of a "d-link" is one of a number of methodologies used to
assist persons with disabilities, specifically persons with visual
disabilities. This method is/was particularly important/valuable for
complex images (e.g., graphs and charts) where a lengthy description
is needed to help the user understand the graphic.
The primary accessible web design method to address images is with the
use of the ALT attribute (commonly referred to as the "ALT Tag). Since
older Assistive Technology devices (certain text readers) did not
always support the ALT attribute, the "little-d" was suggested and
developed. The "little-d" never really caught on.
Another method is the use of the Long Description attribute
(LONGDESC="") which was adopted by the W3C as the offical method for
dealing with images that need long descriptions. Regretfully, there
are very few (if any) browsers or AT devices that support this
attribute.

Andy said:Why ? They're a stupid idea from people who have no real idea about
accessibility.
The WGBH site you refer to, and the mainecite site too,
are both poorly accessible sites.
Their use of "d links" is bogus and
the rest of their coding is poor too.
Some clues:
d-link - A terrible idea.
It's the "one pixel gif" of accessibility.
A stupid idea, bolted on to a page in a spirit of "build something out
of the simple tools we already have" and entirely ignoring the real
ways to do it better.
These are sites about accessibility, that are themselves poorly
accessible. Can one really pay much attention to them, when they can't
even achieve what they're advocating?
Accessiblity and Bobby icons. Any page that shows these seems doomed
to be a poorly accessible page, coded by idiots. It shouldn't be, and
there's no way it needs to be, but an empirical look at what's
actually out there bears this out.
