#Accessibility Question.
Scenario: Web service has a #Section508 compliant interface readable by most screen readers.
Writing the help guides for how to use the site & including screenshots of the interface showing different buttons highlighted for each step in the instructions.
Is it enough for the #AltText of those screenshots to indicate it shows the button being highlighted, if the location of the button is in the page text? Or should the button location still be in the alt text?
