Business Services/Create Objects : Missing "alt" attribute for decorative image for the Object type title

    XMLWordPrintable

Description

    Issue Summary

    Missing "alt" attribute for decorative image for the images for the Object type such as "Business Services", etc. in the Object schema page.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Launch the URL
    2. In the Object Schema page, keep the screen reader navigating to the image beside the "Business services" title for the Object type.

    Actual Results

    The "alt" attribute is missing in the source code of the decorative image for the Object type titles such as "Business services", "Hardware", etc. in the Object schema page in the main content area. The image is announced inappropriately to the screen reader user, which makes confusion for the screen reader users.

    An ‘alt’ attribute is a required attribute for the "img" element as per W3C specifications. In the absence of the ‘alt’ attribute, the HTML validator will generate an error. Decorative images are images that provide no information. They enhance the look and feel of a website.

    Expected Results

    Provide alternate text for all the images using the "alt" attribute. Ensure that the alternate text is descriptive of the image purpose. If the image is decorative, specify empty "alt" attribute (alt = "") as given below:

    <img src="https://instenv-21072-japp.instenv.internal.atlassian.com/rest/insight/1.0/objecttype/43/icon.png?size=48" width="48" style="max-height: 48px;" class="js-rlabs-tooltip" aria-describedby="aui-tooltip" alt="">

    Screen readers provide information about all the images on the web page whether any alternate text is specified or not. Empty ‘alt’ attribute of a decorative image enables the screen reader to skip the image.
