What this rule checks
Ensure <input type="image"> elements have alternative text.
Why it matters
WCAG 1.1.1 and 4.1.2 require image buttons to have a text alternative.
How to fix it
- Add alt text that describes the action, for example alt="Search".
How to check the fix
- Re-scan the affected pages.
How FixReports finds it
Our scan runs the axe-core rule input-image-alt in a real Chrome browser on every page it tests, and reports each failing element with its page, its markup and, where it applies, a screenshot.
An automated test confirms that this specific problem is present. It can't tell whether the rest of the page is accessible: some barriers only show up when a person checks the page.
