https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39502 --- Comment #1 from Alexander Blanchard <alexander.blanchard@openfifth.co.uk> --- Created attachment 181843 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=181843&action=edit Bug 39502: Web Usability: Decorative Images Do Not Need ALT Text A accessibility audit has highlighted that some of the decorative images on the opac have alt text which is often followed by a spen that also contains the same text. This results in screen readers reading this information twice. The suggested solution is to set the alt text to null in these instances. Test Plan: Prior to applying patch: 1) Navigate to Koha OPAC 2) Carry out a search 3) On one of the records right click on the Material Type: under the heading 4) Select Inspect 5) Note that the image has an alt text that matches the span that follows 6) Click on the item title and repeat the process for the icon below the contributors. 7) Scroll down to the holdings table and repeat the process for the image in the Item Type column 8) Log in as a user with at least one checkout 9) Navigate to the Checkout History table and repeat the process for the icon in the itype column 10) Apply the patch 11) Repeat the steps above and notice that the alt is now null in order to ignored by screen readers 12) Note that for the Dev tools may show alt but if you right click on the page and select View Page Source you will see that the code is alt="" as expected by screen readers 13) Note that for alt tags that have been updated in the xsl files e.g. the small icons that follow 'Material Type: ' may be cached. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
