Validating Image + Text on the Event Website
Overview
The Image + Text component on an event website displays an image alongside descriptive text to provide visual context and supporting information to participants. Validating this component ensures that the image and text are displayed correctly, links work as expected, accessibility requirements are met, and the content behaves consistently across interactions. This article explains how participants can validate the Image + Text component on the event website.
Step-by-Step Approach

- Navigate to the webpage where the Image + Text component is published.
2. Validate the Image + Text Component

- Confirm that both the image and the accompanying text are visible.
