Hi Adam, If the context is only provided by the image, having just a title attribute would be bad for visually impaired users working in their own colour schemes or custom style sheets (background images will disappear, no replaced text will be shown). Tool tips may still appear but these do not scale and are not keyboard-accessible. Regards, Detlev Quoting adam solomon <adam.solomon2@gmail.com>: > Hi everyone > Does 2.4.4 require there to be link text?
