Five kinds of ‘alt’ text

This discussion of alt-text, on the website of a London-based usability consulting and usability training company, offers that there are five different classes of "alt" text. Each of 5 different types of images requires a different approach to writing the ‘alt’ attribute. Some comments were solicited (from February - April 2011) and can be reviewed, however the "comments section" is now closed to further input.

"Advancing employment opportunities and expectations for people with disabilities strengthens not only America's economy, but our moral fiber. It creates a more inclusive America, one where every person is recognized for his or her accomplishments — and that should be our goal not just on Labor Day but every day."

Assistant Secretary Kathy Martinez, Office of Disability Employment Policy, September 7, 2009
