This failure relates to:
This describes a failure condition for all techniques involving text alternatives. If the text in the "text alternative" cannot be used in place of the non-text content without losing information or function then it fails because it is not, in fact, an alternative to the non-text content.
Examples of text that are not text alternatives include:
placeholder text such as " " or "spacer" or "image" or "picture" etc that are put into the 'text alternative' location on images or pictures.
programming references that do not convey the information or function of the non-text content such as "picture 1", "picture 2" or "0001", "0002" or "Intro#1", "Intro#2".
filenames that are not valid text alternatives in their own right such as "Oct.jpg" or "Chart.jpg" or "sales\\oct\\top3.jpg"
No resources available for this technique.
(none currently listed)
Check each text alternative to see if it is not actually a text alternative for the non-text content.
If step #1 is true then this failure condition applies and content fails the Success Criterion.
