[Bug 1271772] Re: All images need descriptive alt text
** Description changed:
+ Parent bug: Please make a new bug report for each section that is fixed
+ which references this bug in the description, and add a comment here
+ with the new bug number.
+
To be accessible to screen readers, all images and image-like elements
need an alt attribute specified. This should either describe what the
image looks like or what it does (if it's an image link or button).
The following areas are affected
- Close button in homeinfo
- Edit and delete buttons in Journal (turns out they need 'alt' rather than 'value')
- Delete buttons in Notes
- Skin previews
- File icons in "Files to download" block
Also, the top "Settings" image should have null alt text set since the
text "Settings" is immediately beside it (at the moment, screen readers
read out "Settings Settings")
Affects latest master
(WCAG Level A)
