Abstract
A technique for providing alternative text for use in association with an image in a web page includes processing code for a web page to display the web page. An application program identifies from the code a URI specifying an image data file for an image to be displayed in the web page. The application program determines whether the URI of the image data file includes a fragment identifier and, in response to determining that the image data file includes a fragment identifier, determines whether text follows the fragment identifier. In response to determining that text follows the fragment identifier, the text is used to identify alternative text for the image and the web page is rendered with the alternative text in place of the image.
