#20843 [Opn]: Alt text in documentation pages hamper accessibility

ID: 20843 Updated by: pollita@php.net Reported By: mcgarry@tig.com.au Status: Open -Bug Type: Website problem +Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Agreed, this violates accessability standards. Reclassified as a documentation problem as change needs to be made in the phpweb build process. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-05 16:55:18] mcgarry@tig.com.au On documentation pages such as http://www.php.net/manual/en/funcref.php in the left column the sections are listed and have a graphical bullet point in front of them. These graphical bullet points have the section name as the alt text. When browsing without images all this does is make each section title appear twice (once as the image alt text and once as the actual text that follows it) and it looks very wierd. A better alt text would be the middot entity or nothing at all. For reference I noticed this when trying to access the page in "small screen rendering" mode as provided in Opera 7 for Windows beta which mimics how pages look on the version of Opera for small screen devices (ie mobile phones) they make. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20843&edit=1
