Talk:SC2-4-4+SC4-1-2-anchors-have-names

Open issues

• Step 2 and Step 3 can be merged, if the Text Computation Algorithm is run on the link itself.

• Add a test name to the test properties
• Description on this page says: "This test checks that all links have a name." while on 2.4.4_Link_Purpose_(In_Context) description is "Images in links have a text alternative SC2-4-4+SC4-1-2-anchors-have-names". I think description can be updated to make it consistent and also reflect checks on step3.

• The title of F89 indicates that just images are handled. But the WCAG test procedure checks for non-text content, which is defined as "any content that is not a sequence of characters that can be programmatically determined or where the sequence is not expressing something in human language", including ASCII Art, emoticons, leetspeak and images representing text. In HTML5 also flow-elements are allowed, including object, video, audio, figure and canvas.

Ready for review

• The selector contain the work "check". The selector should not check anything. Change the selector to a sentence starting with "Select".
• Why is "non-empty" defined as two or more characters? This is arbitrary (so we would need to state it as assumption) and probably wrong (e.g. for languages with logographic scripts like Chinese).
• According to SC4-1-2-anchor#Step_1 it is ok to have a title on the a element. But SC2-4-4-img-alt-anchor does not take the title into account. Leading to two different interpretations of F89. In my opinion the two test should be aligned.

• This failure condition also applies, if role="presentation". Regardless of the existence or content of any textual alternative.
• The TC should "be extended to links with multiple img elements", because Step 1 of the WCAG-test ("Check whether the link contains only non-text content.") does not specify the amount of non-text content.

Closed issues

• This test should be combined with 1.1.1
• I think this TC could quite easily be extended to links with multiple img elements
• General discussion: Do we want to keep using the nested list structure for the steps? We're not doing this consistently at the moment.
• We should consider making this a semi-automated TC, where the user is asked to judge the text alternative
• This TC should look at all methods that may provide a text alternative, not just alt attributes

• This is already checked in SC1-1-1-img-empty-alt#Step_5, because there failure of the the circumstances is checked, in which the alt attribute is allowed to be empty. (Closed due to reworking SC1-1-1)
