Reading Notes Class 205

• What is a real world use case for the alt attribute being used in a website? Alt attributes enable screen readers to read the information about on-page images for the benefit of a person with complete lack of sight, visually impaired, or who is otherwise unable to view the images on the page.
• How can you improve accessibility of images in an HTML document? YOu can create an images folder where you can just drag and drop into the image that was saved previously in that folder so that other people can get to them.
• Provide an example of when the figure element would be useful in an HTML document. When you want something that might float around that webpage or scroll along with the user.
• Describe the difference between a gif image and an svg image, pretend you are explaining to an elder in your community. A gif image is something that will not scale with a webapge’s size, the bigger the gif image gets the less sharp and clear it looks. While a svg image does scale well and will look sharp and clear as it gets bigger.

• What image type would you use to display a screenshot on your website and why? YOu want to use PNG because it has a larger file size therefore it will keep the sharpness of the image.

• Describe the difference between foreground and background colors of an HTML element, pretend you are talking to someone with no technical knowledge. The foreground controls what color your brush or pencil will be, while the background color erases any added color and replaces it with the background color, which is white by default.

• What should you consider when choosing fonts for an HTML document? Can this font be read and will this font or these fonts be in the base of the internet web brower
