DRRSAG Designations:
When using the img
element, specify a short text alternative with the alt
attribute or use an empty alt in case of a decorative image. The alternative text (alt text) must convey the same meaning as the image.
The engine scans for alt
attributes with less than 3 characters.
Users who use assistive tools, such as screen readers, will fail to properly understand the content of the image.
