<h1>longdesc-tests</h1>
<p>Proposed tests for the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html-longdesc">HTML Image Description Extension specification</a>. These tests are © chaals, and available under the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/copyright-software">W3C Software license</a></p>
<h2>Multifunction tests</h2>
<p>These 15 tests include descriptions under different combinations of circumstances - images included "normally", as data: URIs, or missing, with the descriptions internal or external to the page, as a data: URI, or in a location only reachable by taking into account the base element.</p>
<p>The same tests are used to provide 3 results:
1 Can the user discover there is an image that has a long description available?
2 Can the user access the description? To pass, the user should arrive at the "pass page" which has a heading "Pass" followed by a description, or the focus must be on the text "Pass, if the focus is here" which is followed by a description of the image.
3 Is the long description available to system accessibility APIs</p>

<h2>Automated tests</h2>
<p><a href="reflected-changing-longdesc-manual.html">Longdesc value updated by javascript</a> tests that the HTML attribute reflects changes made by javascript. To pass, the browser must redirect to the "Longdesc test Pass Page" which has the word "Pass" as a heading, followed by a description of the image. Displaying the "Longdesc test Fail Page" would indicate a failure of this test.</p>
<h2>Validation / Repair tool tests</h2>
<p><a href="invalid-longdesc-manual.html">Invalid long description (plain text)</a> contains an invalid long description (plain text) and can be used to test User Agent and validation tool handling. <em>NOTE: Handling of invalid longdescs by user agents is currently undefined.</em>
<a href="empty-longdesc-manual.html">Invalid long description (empty attribute)</a> contains an invalid long description (plain text) and can be used to test User Agent and validation tool handling. <em>NOTE: Handling of invalid longdescs by user agents is currently undefined.</em>
<a href="fail-fragment-pointer-manual.html">Pointer to an invalid long description (not contained in a well-formed fragment)</a> points to a long description in a <a href="fail-fragment-pointer-manual.html">page fragment whose target is an empty element</a>. Validation tools should at least generate a warning, since an empty element is almost certainly not an adequate description, and is likely instead to reflect not passing the relevant authoring requirement.</p>
