The newest version!

The alt attribute provides a textual alternative to an image.

It is used whenever the actual image cannot be rendered.

Common reasons for that include:

  • The image can no longer be found
  • Visually impaired users using a screen reader software
  • Images loading is disabled, to reduce data consumption on mobile phones

Empty alt attributes are not allowed, since purely decorative images should be specified using CSS, not using the img tag.

Noncompliant Code Example

<img src="foo.png" />                                           <!-- Noncompliant -->
<img src="foo.png" alt="" />                                    <!-- Noncompliant -->
<input type="image" src="bar.png" />                            <!-- Noncompliant -->

Compliant Solution

<img src="foo.png" alt="Some textual description of foo.png" />
<input type="image" src="bar.png" alt="Textual description of bar.png" />
