Provide a polyfill to longdesc attribute
The longdesc attribute was a part of the HTML 4.0 specification. When HTML5 was first published, it was labelled as “obsolete.” Later, it was released as a recommended “HTML Extension.” So it is sort-of deprecated, and sort-of available for use. As of this writing, no mainstream browsers support it, so using it will have no effect on your page.

This is one of a series of techniques for locating content that are sufficient for addressing Success Criterion 2.4.5. A table of contents provides links to sections and subsections of the same document. The information in the document is usually organized hierarchically, and is intended to be read sequentially. Just as there could be many books in a library, each with its own table of contents, a Web site may contain many documents, each with its own table of contents.
The table of contents serves two purposes:
- It gives users an overview of the document's contents and organization.
- It allows readers to go directly to a specific section of an on-line document.

The objective of this technique is to provide a mechanism to bypass blocks of material that are repeated on multiple Web pages by skipping directly to the main content of the Web page. The first interactive item in the Web page is a link to the beginning of the main content. Activating the link sets focus beyond the other content to the main content. This technique is most useful when a Web page has one main content area, rather than a set of content areas that are equally important, and when there are not multiple navigation sections on the page.
