In addition to preventing element misuse, CSS can help to reduce image misuse. For instance, Web developers sometimes use 1-pixel invisible images to position content. This not only bloats documents, making them slow to download, but can also confuse software agents looking for alternative text(the ALT attribute) for these images. CSS positioning properties mean that invisible images are no longer required to control positioning. 2, record 4, English, - CSS%20positioning%20property

En plus de prévenir une utilisation détournée des balises, les feuilles CSS peuvent aider à réduire la mauvaise utilisation d'images. Par exemple, les développeurs utilisent parfois des images invisibles d'un pixel pour positionner le contenu de leur page. En plus d'alourdir les documents, ce qui ralentit leur téléchargement, cette méthode désoriente également les agents logiciels qui cherchent du texte optionnel (attribut «alt») pour ces images. Grâce aux propriétés de positionnement des feuilles CSS, il n'est plus nécessaire d'utiliser des images invisibles pour définir la position des objets dans la page. 1, record 4, French, - propri%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20de%20positionnement%20des%20feuilles%20CSS

The primary purpose of a stall guard is indeed to keep the horse from coming out of the stall. The stall guard or chain may be used to keep the animal in a stall for a short period or long time period.... However, utilizing stall guards and chains instead of solid stall doors will help to improve the air circulation in the barn. The guard is also easier to adjust to the individual horse than a solid or Dutch door would be. Providing a stall with a stall guard that allows a horse to look out may calm a nervous horse... Horses are usually social creatures, preferring to be in larger groups. Being able to look out of the stall and see other horses will be reassuring to the horse.... In addition, the stall guard can assist in training a horse.... Another use for stall guards is to display information or to make a show barn look classier. Owners of show horses or race horses frequently have stall guards customized with their logos and stable colors to enhance their business image.... Stall guards may also be used as a temporary method of separating horses from each other. For instance, a solid stall guard can be used in a stock trailer to separate a mother from her foal while traveling. 2, record 5, English, - stall%20guard
