[ARCHIVED] How does UDOIT handle alt text that is a filename?

[sbj]

Hi folks!  I am putting together a simple spreadsheet for my team comparing the main features of UDOIT with the Accessibility Checker features in the Canvas Design Tool.  I know that UDOIT will flag missing alt text, but will it also flag alt text that has .jpg etc?  I haven't been able to find this in the various demos and online discussions.  This is an important feature since Canvas uses the image file name as the default alt text.

Thanks in advance or any insight!

I apologize for not responding sooner.  Apparently my notifications aren't set up properly.  Anyway, the ALT text error will trigger in three situations:

• blank ALT text
• ALT text that is longer than 100 characters
• ALT text that follows the format of an image file name (*.jpg, *.png, etc.)

I hope that answers your question!

Thanks Jacob -- that's perfect!
