There could be several reasons why the image alt text is not showing in Chrome:
Incorrect Syntax: The HTML syntax for your image alt tag may be wrong or incomplete. By HTML standards, an alt
attribute should be included within the <img>
tag, like so: <img src="image.jpg" alt="This is the alt text">
.
Chrome Settings: If you've enabled certain accessibility settings in Chrome, it might interfere with how alt text is displayed.
Browser Extensions: Some browser extensions can impact how web pages are displayed, including alt text.
CSS Issues: Alt text usually appears when an image fails to load, but CSS properties can change this behavior. Style rules such as display:none;
and visibility:hidden;
can prevent alt text from appearing.
To resolve this issue, you can consider the following approaches:
Check Your Syntax: Make sure you've correctly implemented the alt tags in your HTML. Validate your code using tools like W3C Markup Validation Service.
Adjust Chrome Settings: If you have adjusted any accessibility settings in Chrome that may be interfering with alt text, try resetting them to their default state.
Disable Browser Extensions: Try disabling browser extensions one by one to see if any are causing the issue.
CSS Rules: Review your CSS code and check if any rules are hiding the alt text. You may need to adjust these styles or override them.
