Interesting. It also made me look at the MDN docs again. img alt is consistent to that. I wasn't aware of the empty for omittable images.
I also looked at
figure
again, and in my interpretation it does declare thatfigcaption
is to be used.figure
represents self-contained content.figcaption
provides the accessible name for the parent. The accessible name is is the text associated with an HTML element that provides users of assistive technology with a label for the element.The resolution order being aria-labelledby, aria-label, input[type=button][value], input[type=image]|img|area[alt], …
So
figcaption
takes priority overimg
alt
.Thanks for the info. The Accessible name calculation page is really interesting.
