Diagnoses

Here is how rule engines diagnose the image link not named issue for HTML element 282 of the DemocracyNext page.

1. <p>When a link is wrapped around an image, the image's alt text <a href="https://webaim.org/techniques/hypertext/link_text#alt_link" title="Opens in new tab" target="_blank">provides the link's title for screen readers</a>.</p> <p><strong>To fix:</strong> set this image's alternative text to something that describes the link's destination, or add text next to the image, within the link.</p>
