A screen reader will say "Link WC3 Home" Which may make more sense given that the user is already on the W3C web site. 89792 1 zcorpan 2013-06-25 07:59:29 +0000 Shouldn't it be "W3C"? And "PIP CO home" be "PIP CO"? 89806 2 david100 2013-06-25 14:23:36 +0000 Note: I think the existing text would be fine if the logo was on a different site (not the w3c site), such as a sponsor page of another site... 89809 3 david100 2013-06-25 14:29:06 +0000 The text before the example says "In this example, a link contains a logo. The link points to the W3C web site. The text alternative is a brief description of the link target." Which provides an indication that the logo is not on the W3c site, therefore I agree it is appropriate and withdraw the bug... if any change is made, a short addition such as this might help. "In this example, a link contains a logo. The link points to the W3C web site <add>from another site</add>. ..." 90022 4 faulkner.steve 2013-06-29 08:52:16 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > Shouldn't it be "W3C"? And "PIP CO home" be "PIP CO"? depends on whether the link is on a different site or not, if its a link on a site that is pointing to the home page of the same site recommend addition of info to indicate the page. 90034 5 faulkner.steve 2013-06-30 10:04:28 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
