Unless the image files are the same, no image should contain redundant alt text¶
Severity code: Severe error
Every distinct image on a page should have it’s own <em>alt</em> text which is different than all the others on the page to avoid redundancy and confusion.
Example¶
Wrong¶
<img src="rex.jpg" alt="this is an image of rex"><img src="me.jpg" alt="this is an image of rex">
Right¶
<img src="rex.jpg" alt="this is an image of rex"><img src="me.jpg" alt="a photo of myself">
