Possible Accessibility Compliance

[dbltoe]

I'm working on the same thing in 1.5.8 but really like to use this mod instead of the norm and think it should be built-in.

Because of the close proximity of the Image and the Title, using the Title of the item for an alt tag results in a minor hit for accessibility.

With the main information being in the Title of the item, I think accessibility can be better met by making the alt tag for the image blank and setting the role to presentation.

<img src="images/product1.jpg" alt="" role="presentation" title="Product 1" width="100" height="75"

I use the example with both the empty alt and role setting as this would make it compatible with all browsers and readers.

I wish I were able to submit proposed fille changes but, it's just not in my level of expertise. Hopefully, this will explain what might be done to make the mod even better.

While some would remove the H and W for CSS, this also tells the browser that the item is presentational and is ALWAYS overwritten by any CSS setting(s) made.
