Alternatives
The simple alternative for a side-by-side look at things is to embed the element of information being discussed within a single web page, with the result that if the description is not kept very short, the media element being described scrolls off the page while the description is being read. Web table structures can also be used to put things side by side, but face the same potential problem of scrolling away the item such as an image when the descriptive and comparative information becomes longer. A more complex alternative to side-by-side display requires specialized coding of some kind such CSS or PHP.

Famous quotes containing the word alternatives:
“The literal alternatives to [abortion] are suicide, motherhood, and, some would add, madness. Consequently, there is some confusion, discomfort, and cynicism greeting efforts to “find” or “emphasize” or “identify” alternatives to abortion.”
—Connie J. Downey (b. 1934)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“The last alternatives they face
Of face, without the life to save,
Being from all salvation weaned
A stag charged both at heel and head:
Who would come back is turned a fiend
Instructed by the fiery dead.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
