Button to restart the slideshow
Description
The button has an 'alt' attribute, which is not valid for button elements, and it has no content that can provide an accessible name. As a result, it does not meet the requirement for having a non-empty accessible name.

Applicable Guidelines

Guideline Observations Recommendations Testing Actions
Guideline 87 All elements have appropriate accessible names and roles assigned. (Fail)
4.1.2 Name, Role, Value
The button must have a valid accessible name that describes its function to users of assistive technologies. Remove the 'alt' attribute from the button element and ensure it has an appropriate label or text content that serves as its accessible name. Use a screen reader to verify that the button announces an appropriate and descriptive name.
