15 Minute Series What is Lynx?


If a user goes to a web page that contains a graphic image, the user will not see the image. Instead, the user will likely see one of two things.
  1. The user may see text that describes the image. This is called "ALT" text and is inserted by the author of the web page. The "ALT" text may or may not be within square brackets. Placing "ALT" text on a web page is optional, but it is strongly recommended.

  2. If the author has not inserted "ALT" text, then the user will see the word [image], placed in brackets.
