Acceptable ALT TEXT test in FAILURE technique: F65

All,

 

As we were discussing the test SC2-4-4-img-alt-anchor on the call today, I
brought up how the requirements for what is now acceptable to alt text has
changed to include title and two ARIA components. That change was documented
in the new version of F65
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20140916/F65.html) during the
most recent version of the Techniques document which was published 16
September 2014 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20140916/). F65
is specifically applicable to images.

 

F65: Failure of Success Criterion 1.1.1 due to omitting the alt attribute or
text alternative on img elements, area elements, and input elements of type
"image".


Tests


Procedure


Identify img, area and input elements of type "image". For each of these
elements:

1.    Check if the alt attribute is present.

2.    Check if aria-labelledby attribute is present AND references one or
more id elements in the page AND check if aria-labelledby is
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#accessibility-supporteddef>
accessibility supported.

3.    Check if the aria-label attribute is present AND check if aria-label
is
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#accessibility-supporteddef>
accessibility supported.

4.    Check if the title attribute is present AND check if title is
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#accessibility-supporteddef>
accessibility supported.


Expected Results


* If all of #1, #2, #3 and #4 are false then this failure condition applies.
