Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Does anyone have any thoughts or references regarding how the use of this module affects accessibility of a website. In this case I'm thinking about Accessibility in terms of the WAI (http://www.w3.org/WAI/). I'm thinking this module (or something similar) would be useful for websites I'm building but I'm concerned by the fact that this module depends on JavaScript.
Any thoughts or input would be appreciated.

mgiffordGood question. I think it can add some additional context. More useful than title for sure.
Best reference I could find was:
http://webaim.org/blog/alt-text-and-linked-images/
I'm moving this to d7 hoping it will be back-ported.

Euclid.HTo solve this problem in terms of the WAI you can use Web Accessibility and W3C Standards using
this link: https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/complex/
You can search for word caption using Ctrl + F on the page to add a description for the people with disabilities.
it should convey the meaning or the content that is displayed visually,
which typically isn’t a literal description of the image it self.

mgiffordThis is too general of an issue. It's been open for too long.
@MoHelmy your comment didn't really clarify this issue. There is no Drupal 8 release yet.
I'm closing it.

Euclid.H@mgifford I know that. am just testing an open ticket.
Am always sorting all of the issues by the created date (the latest date).
