Alt text that helps
Definition and example
Alt text that helps is the focus of this lesson. Describe the function, not the file name. Decorative images take alt="". The task asks you to apply that idea in a small example: What alt text does a purely decorative image take. Before you run the code, predict what should happen. Then Inspect the rendered page and its element structure and compare it with your prediction. If the result differs, change one relevant line and run it again. Testing one change at a time makes the cause of a result easier to understand.
