Crawling input image's ALT text ?

Post by superdez »

Do crawlers crawl the alt text on <input images too? They do crawl them on <a hrefs...

Code: Select all

<input id="whatever" type="image" name="whatever" value="whatever" src="..image.png" alt="whatever" />

I know what a crawler is but in what context?

Screen readers for one rely on the alt attribute.

I just want to know if google will index that kind of alt as well as the normal image alt. I'm thinking that maybe since its inside a button, it will not be taken into account for SEO purposes.
