I have a decorative image with an alt text but without an empty string or double quotes as below -

<img src="sample.jpg" alt/> 

This is being highlighted as a11y issue within crownpeak. I have tested the image behavior in screen readers, which is working as expected on images since its decorative.

As per the HTML5 specification and few responses in stackoverflow. alt="" and alt are equally same.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75256822/accessibility-alt-or-alt-for-decorative-images

Is this a false positive within crown peak ? Is there a way to make crownpeak hide these kind of errors or any workaround to hide these errors ?

We have thousands of pages with decorative and non-decorative images, so having an answer to this issue will comply with our a11y standards. So any inputs is much appreciated.

 

Thanks In advance,

Praveen
