Re: Alt text on a div? You can just add aria-label. But you missed my entire point. Thats not necessarily implemented everywhere nor guaranteed to be presented in the way you think it is. The standard gives almost no guarantees on that regard. Have you actually tested this with screen

Re: Alt text on a div? Hmm. Interesting.Since my game is not primarily for screen readers I do have to prioritize where I spend development time. If adding an ARIA label element isnt the nice solution it should be, I may change to tiny images with alt text inside any mysterious divs. Would

Re: Alt text on a div? Alt attributes generally only work on images, sadly. Assigning ARIA roles based on _javascript_ might work, or you could append some text DOM nodes that are only visible to screenreaders to determine if there is damage or not. HTH,Balliol URL: http

Re: Alt text on a div? I hear you. I had the same headaches with IE non-standards compliance. Ug.From a developer perspective though, if the effort required far outstrips the potential returns, most profit driven companies wont bother. then youre stuck with developers who make games

Re: Alt text on a div? It might be. It might not. Its going to depend on the screen reader and the platform and whether you ask me that question now or in 6 months. I read the algorithm for the computation of text that Arias spec provides and its not exactly simple. Or short

Re: Alt text on a div? It looks like it might be possible with Aria, but youre going to need to read the spec yourself and do testing--how Aria is presented isnt really specified and the implementation status of Aria varies wildly across browsers and screen readers.It is easier and much

Re: Alt text on a div? If you really want to do this, youll have to figure out something with Aria, which will make you accessible to half of us and provide a wildly varying experience. Aria provides no specific thing for this, or so says my very quick skim of the spec.It is easier

Alt text on a div? Hi all! Got a coding question for screen-reader support.An important image in my browser game is an image of the players robot standing in its garage. This is done as a div with a css background image. Done this way because multiple divs are then stacked on top
