Making Images Accessible
The standard <img>
tag supports an alt
attribute that provides an alternative, textual description of the image. That description is important for accessible websites, as users with screen readers rely on the alt
content to describe the image. CSS background images don’t have an <img>
tag and thus no alt
attribute, but we can still make them accessible to vision-impaired users. To do that, we add two additional attributes to our markup.
<div id="image" role="img" aria-label="Textual Description"></div>
The first extra attribute, role
, lets screen readers know that the <div>
is serving the role of an <img>
tag, even though it’s not explicit in the markup. The second attribute, aria-label
serves the same purpose as an alt
attribute in an <img>
. With those two additions, screen readers can announce to their users that the element is an image, and they will read the alternate text description that you’ve provided for that image.
