Subject: Reg inline images and high contrast mode.
No previous message | Next message →

Hi,

I have been following the discussion on high contrast mode and background image sprites but I have a more basic question about inline images and HCM. For low-vision users without a screen reader on HCM, will they have difficulty seeing the inline image because it may not have sufficient contrast? Or are they expected to use a browser plugin to replace the inline image with its alt text?

I understand screen reader users will benefit because the alt text is read out? But, what about
LOw vision users without a screen reader?

Thanks
Ramya

I am going to try to answer my own question: I think low vision users in
HCM would turn off images as described here:
http://kb.iu.edu/data/acpv.html#ie to show just the alt text and that's
why inline images are accessible.
