Your daily frequent11y newsletter, brought to you by @ChrisBAshton:
Add punctuation to your alt text
- Eric Bailey reminds us that we should always finish our alt text with punctuation, such as a full stop/period. This makes the screen reader voice pause slightly before announcing the next words in the sequence, which feels a lot more natural. Example code:
<img src="puppy.jpg" alt="A golden retriever puppy wearing a tiny raincoat." />
Prefer longer newsletters? You can subscribe to week11y, fortnight11y or even month11y updates! Every newsletter gets the same content; it is your choice to have short, regular emails or longer, less frequent ones. Curated with ♥ by developer @ChrisBAshton.
