Subject: Detecting SVG imags
No previous message | Next message →
Greetings all
I am writing up an image accessibility test guide for our UAT team.
I want them to easily detect use of SVG images (we have started using
them on some domains and we are expanding the use to others).
Is there a way for them, other than looking at the source code of
images, or by detecting all HTML and CSS images first), to identify an
<svg> image?
Do any accessibility tools or bookmarklets mark SVG images
specifically or expose their alternative text (the contents of the
<title>or <desc> elements)?
For the purpose of this exercise, let's assume the <svg> tag does not
have role="img".
Thanks

Hi Birkir,
JAWS 17 reads an SVG <title> element by default for me, but not the <desc> element. I'm unsure how to make it read the <desc> element, but I'd like to know if it's possible. Because <desc> is the functional equivalent to the "longdesc" attribute, I'm not keen on its level of support.
