• LONGDESC: for 80 characters or more, links to a text file with a longer description

    • Example:
      <img src=“mouse”
      alt=“Man serving tennis ball, sunrise, and cartoon mouselongdesc=“mouse-desc.htm” />

  • Avoid the words “image of” in ALT text for functional images (such as buttons)

  • Do use the word “image of”, “diagram of”, or “picture of” for critical (but non-functional) images

  • Spacers, decorative and ”non-essential” images that are used as spacers should use: ALT=“” (empty)
