-Contrarily to `img` elements, an empty `alt` attribute (`alt=""`) does not make an image button decorative; image buttons have a button role and are therefore exposed as interactive elements. Consequently, an empty `alt` attribute does not provide a "usable string" for image buttons and the computation defaults to other means of providing a name, as defined in [input type="image" Accessible Name Computation algorithm](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam/#input-type-image-accessible-name-computation).

 ### Accessibility Support
 
-The [input type="image" Accessible Name Computation algorithm](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam/#input-type-image-accessible-name-computation) uses the first non-empty name, but some user agents and assistive technologies combinations stop at the first existing one, even if empty.
+The [input type="image" Accessible Name Computation algorithm](https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam/#input-type-image-accessible-name-computation) uses the first defined attribute, even if the attribute has an empty value. In contrast, some user agents and assistive technologies ignore empty attributes.
