IMG ALT text with acronyms can cause problems when read by screenreaders.
FAIL: <img src=”mit-it-logo.jpg” alt=”ITS at MIT” />
(read by a screen reader as “It’s at Mit”).
SOLUTION: Include spaces in between acronym letters in the IMG ALT attribute
PASS: <img src=”mit-it-logo.jpg” alt=”I T S at M I T” />
(read by a screen reader as “ITS at EM EYE TEE”).
