Diagnoses
Here is how tools diagnose the image name contains image
issue for HTML element 320 of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists page.
- <p>This image's alt text is "Photo of a group of protesters wearing flags and holding signs, including one that reads Bow to China Lose Forever.," which mentions that this image is an image.</p> <hr><p>Links should clearly and concisely describe their destination. Since words like "image," "graphic" or "photo" are already redundant in text alternatives (screen readers already identify the image as an image), their presence in a linked image usually means the image's text alternative is <a href="https://webaim.org/techniques/hypertext/link_text#alt_link" title="Opens in new tab" target="_blank">describing the image instead of the link</a>.</p> <ul> <li>Good link text: "About us"</li> <li>Bad link text: "Image of five people jumping"</li> </ul>
