ALT TEXT NOT DELETING

Hello I have a module I am adapting for 508 compliance. (a topic to which I'm quite new).

The request is to leave text boxes visible in the focus order, but without any alternate text. I have deleted the alternate text OVER AND OVER (using both the accessibility tab and the focus order tab), and everytime I save an reopen the course, the alternate text appears again.

This doesnt happen for all text boxes, but for most of them.

Anyone has any idea why this is happening?

  • Hi Everyone, I am facing a similar issue, but what I am trying to do is assign a button an specific ALT description, I added but the screen reader (NVDA) only reads "button" and avoid reading the description
