Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Hide decorative elements from assistive technology. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant. If an image is clearly decorative, default to no finding unless the snippet shows an actual issue such as broken semantics, focusability, or visible layout instability.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Hide decorative elements from assistive technology Screen readers announce every image and icon—decorative elements clutter the experience with meaningless 'image, decorative border, image, bullet' announcements. ## Quick Reference - Use alt='' (empty) for decorative images—not alt='image' or missing alt - Add aria-hidden='true' to decorative SVGs and icons - Use CSS background-image for purely decorative visuals - Role='presentation' removes semantic meaning from elements - Do not automatically raise performance findings on decorative micro-assets unless the snippet shows real layout instability - Example safe pattern: `<img src="/divider.svg" alt="" aria-hidden="true">` is usually a decorative no-op, not a finding by itself ## Check Verify decorative images have empty alt attributes (alt=''), decorative icons use aria-hidden='true', and background images used for decoration are not announced by screen readers. Do not report decorative images as accessibility or performance failures unless the code shows a concrete problem rather than a hypothetical optimization. ## Fix …

How to install
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/decorative-elements@sha256:eb04eed3111575a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.4b0ddb9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
