Image buttons must have alternate text
What is the problem?
The input-image-alt rule ensures that <input type="image"> elements have alternative text.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Screen reader users rely on alternative text to understand the purpose of images. Without it, they may miss important information or be unable to interact with the image.
How to solve this issue
To fix this issue, add an alt attribute to the <input type="image"> element and provide a concise and descriptive text that accurately represents the image's content and purpose.
