texte = I looked at cxsonline.com and the first thing I saw was the fact that the only text on the page is:Welcome to Chiropractic X-Ray & Supply Online. Our mission is to provide the Chiropractic profession with the highest quality products at extremely low prices by utilizing the efficiencies of Internet commerce.Now all this high tech sales speech sounds fantastic but what does it say about the products I'm searching the web for? Nothing!The words X-Ray Film, Illuminators, Exam Tables, X-Ray Chemistry, Film Processors and Electrotherapy are all graphics!!! How am I ever going to find this page in the text-based world of the internet? I'm not!
