AccyImage map area with no name
WCAG 1.1.1, 2.4.4 (A) · EN 301 549 9.1.1.1
There is an <area> inside an image map with no alternative text.
Why it matters
Every area of an image map is a link. With no alt it is an unnamed link, impossible to identify by keyboard or screen reader.
How to fix it
Give each <area> an alt that says where it leads.
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,100,100" href="/north"><area shape="rect" coords="0,0,100,100" href="/north" alt="Stores in the north region">Related
