WAVE Error

Invalid longdesc

What It Means

The longdesc attribute is not a URL.

Why It Matters

The longdesc attribute of an image must be a valid URL of a page that contains a description of the image content. A longdesc value that contains image description text will not provide any accessibility information. Due to poor support, a link to the long description content should be used instead of longdesc.

What To Do

Remove the longdesc attribute and provide a link to the long description content. If the longdesc attribute is maintained, ensure the attribute value is a valid URL/filename.

The Algorithm... in English

The longdesc attribute value: - is empty - is not a URL or filename - is a URL or filename with an extension of .jpg, .gif, or .png
