No img alt="text" display??

I have tried to search this, but every search has returned too many posts, so I apologize in advance.
Have I made some error? For some reason my Safari does not display alt="text" when images are turned off?
This is *what is supposed to happen* (see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/attimgalt.asp) and it works fine in my other browsers (Opera, FF), but with Safari I get nothing - no image, no alt text, no indiciation that an image is supposed to be in that place. According to w3c, Safari is supposed to be compliant.
Is this just my Safari? How do I fix this if it is?
Is it Safari in general? How do we get it fixed, because this is clearly just not correct?

Actually, I am the designer and I know I've included the attributes correctly. They are displaying as expected in Opera and FF, but when I turn off the images in Safari, I get a blank space ... no alt="text".
I'm really confused.

    There is no problem with the site itself, I am designing the site and test with and without images to see how it degrades. As I said, it works properly in Opera and FF - the alt="text" text is displayed in place of the image - but not in Safari.

    It's not just you. I see the same thing in my Safari. It appears to be a Safari problem, in which case the best thing to do is submit feedback to Apple's developers via the Mac OS X feedback form. (You will not receive a response, as that page notes, but the feedback will get to the people who can use it.)

  • PDF alt text displays as a roll over

    When I generate PDFs, the alt text is displayed when I roll over the figure to which the alt text is assigned. Is there any way to keep the alt text but turn off the roll over effect?
    I have a customer who finds the roll over effect bothersome.
    thanks for any assistance.
    Steve

    No - if there's some ALT text, the Acrobat Family will always show it.

  • How to stop IE from displaying alt text as tool tip when mouse over image.

    I have random images being [B]echo[/B] by a PHP script on a page.
    [CODE]<img src="<?php echo $randomImage; ?>" alt="This is alt text" />[/CODE]
    The problem is every time you scroll over the image, IE spits out the alt text.
    I understand the alt text are meant for accessibility.
    So how can I stop this IE behavior with out compromising accessibilty?
    Thanks everyone.

    Screen readers whould still read the alt attribute despite the presence of a title attribute.  In fact most apparently do not read the Title on an image:

    As always some Screen Reader users can reconfigure the software:

  • Alt text and doctype XHTML

    Just a question to know if my thoughts are right...
    I have made my website and at the top DW has put:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    I have notices that the alt-text in my site are not working (the way I would like), they are not displayed when you go over the image with the cursor. I know that the alt text will show up if the image fails to load for any reason but I would like them to show up also when you go over the image.
    After a long search I found that if I change DOCTYPE to HTML 4.01, the alt-text are displayed in the browsers (IE). But unfortunately I can't change the DOCTYPE because of my SPRY-menu.
    Is this correct?
    And is it also correct that the only way to show the text of an image (with doctype XHTML), is to make a title-tag of the image (which DW doesn't facilitate)?
    Katinka.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
       I know that the alt text will show up if the image fails to load for any reason but I would like them to show up also when you go over the image.
    That's not the role of alt text. It's only for alternative text in the absence of an image-not a popup tooltip.
    It has worked as a tooltip in earlier versions of IE because they incorrectly displayed the alt attribute in the absence of the title attribute. It won't work in modern browsers and it's unrelated to the Doctype.
    Use the title attribute instead.
    <img alt="Picture" title="Picture">

  • Alt Text in Page Link?

    I am using Page Link in my Vertical Navigation Bar and there is no place to pass the Alt text when you create a Page Link. Alt text is need it to meet our Common Look and Feel Standards. How do you pass the Alt text information for the Page Link?
    Thank You!

    According to the W3C standard, the ALT tag is:
    "The alt attribute is defined in a set of tags (namely, img, area and optionally for input and applet) to allow you to provide a text equivalent for the object."
    If you show an image for your page link, the Display Name attribute value will show as Alt text for the image. Otherwise the ALT tag is not a valid standard tag for a hyperlink.
    Hope this helps,
    Candace

  • How do I get Alt text to show in DreamweaverCC

    Please excuse my ignorance. I would like to know how to get the Alt text to show when hovering over images. It use to happen naturally in Dreamweaver 3, but now in the latest CC version it doesn't seem to work. I use it to link images to pages so when some one hovers over an image the finger points but no text appears? Is there a setting I have missed as I can't type in the code as I'm a novice? Any advice would be appreciated. The pages are all htm.

    Hi Atrforrooms,
    Use Image Property Inspector dialog in Dreamweaver CC. There is title field, whose value will be displayed on hovering over the image.
    Below is the snapshot for better understanding and title is highlighted there. Try this and let us know if that worked for you.
    Wish you luck.
    thanks,

  • Problem with Alt Text output from thumbnail image of Lightbox widget

    I’m having a problem with the Lightbox widget not producing alternative text based on the image properties.  I’ve set ALT text for the image properties on both the larger Ligtbox image as well as the thumbnail.  But the HTML output from Muse does not include the ALT text on the thumbnail version of the image.  Here’s an example:
        <div class="popup_anchor">
           <div class="Thumb popup_element clearfix" id="u4409"><!-- group -->
            <a class="anchor_item grpelem" id="untitled"></a>
            <div class="grpelem" id="u4433"><!-- image -->
             <img id="u4433_img" src="/images/n0060292x292.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="292" />
    This may be a problem that came in a previous release of Muse.  I have a few older examples where ALT text is produced, but it’s no longer updated if I update the Image Properties.

    I'm seeing the same problem. Looks like a bug to me. Any ideas as to how we can get this on Adobe's bug fix list?

  • I added alt text to an Indesign created graphic but it won't show in Acrobat

    I created these little check boxes in InDesign, basically a stroked box with a copied-from-Illustrator check mark. The box and the check are grouped and anchored to the each paragraph where the item has been completed (checked). I made sure the content of the frames were designated as graphic and not text or unassigned. I then click on the group, open object export options and assign a alt text desription (using custom setting), such as "completed" or "previiously completed", which is a gray check mark. InDesign shows the alt text, but when I export to Acrobat the PDF does not display the alt text. It sees it as a graphic but will not show the alt text that I created in InDesign.
    The only way I have found to fix this is to create the entire box and check in illustrator and import as "real" graphic. This is kinda of pain to reimport and reposition all the boxes, when InDesign has the ability to create these simple graphics.
    Any clue as to why Acrobat will not show the alt tags?

    Pretty annoying - I didn't "chose" to not show my settings....
    you selected something other than "show all" in the popUp menu over the presets list

  • Tags, alt text, and PDF accessibility

    I'm thoroughly confused. I just finished the layout for a 176-page book in ID and I'm trying to tag the book for PDF accessibility. I read that it's better to tag in ID before you export to PDF. My problem is, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do or how to do it, and everything I'm reading is confusing me even more. I'm getting nowhere.
    I'm not expecting a full course on this, but can someone please answer a few questions to give me a kick start (I may even ask the wrong questions). 1.) How do you add alt text to graphics in ID, or Acrobat?  2.) How do you add a tag in ID. I mean, I can add a tag but I don't know where or why I'm adding it.  3.) How do you manually tag a file in Acrobat 9 Pro or edit the auto tagging once it's done?
    I'm using the most recent versions of ID and Acrobat Pro, and the most recent version of Mac OSX.
    Thank you.

    I too have been trying to figure this out and have followed the steps
    to add alt text to InDesign before exportign to PDF. I just can't see the alt text in either PDF  or in a browser displaying thee PDF fiel - I  know the tagged text is there because when I open
    the "touch up Reading order" dialog in the
    accesibility tab of Acrobat - the image displays with the appropriate  Alt text. I' checked the accessibility otpion in the browser as well [expand all alt text for images] but I still don't see the alt text when I mouse over teh image - what am I missign here?

  • Alt text not appearing in WebHelp output

    We are using FrameMaker 10 and RoboHelp 9 to output as WebHelp. In the FM files, I have added alternate text to anchored frames containing images. When I update the linked FM files in my RH project, the screen tip is empty for these images, but when I look at the HTML source for the topic, it shows that the alt text is there:
    <p class="widegraphic"><img alt="Coach completes form and can either submit now or save it as a draft, edit it, and submit it later. After submit, employee receives task or alert notification, and coach receives task notification. Coach can still edit form at this point. Employee acknolwedges form and completes tasks, and employee task changes to complete. Coach completes task, and task status changes to complete. Lastly, coach receives alert or message notification.  "
                                 id="image2" src="using_bpl_form00003.jpg"
                                 style="margin-bottom: 6pt;" border="0" />&#160;</p>
    When I preview the topic in RH and hover my mouse over the image, the alt text appears in the preview window as expected, both in the default window and when I choose to preview in Firefox and IE. However, when I generate the WebHelp and hover my mouse over the images, nothing shows up at all, and the alt text is replaced by the file name:
    <p class="widegraphic"></p>
    <div align="left"><img alt="using_bpl_form00003.jpg" style="margin-bottom : 6pt; " id="image2" src="using_bpl_form00003.jpg" />
    </div>
    If, however, I manually copy and paste the alt text into the screen tip field of the image in the RH topic, the alt text does appear in the WebHelp output:
    <p class="widegraphic"><img alt="Coach completes form and can either submit now or save it as a draft, edit it, and submit it later. After submit, employee receives task or alert notification, and coach receives task notification. Coach can still edit form at this point. Employee acknolwedges form and completes tasks, and employee task changes to complete. Coach completes task, and task status changes to complete. Lastly, coach receives alert or message notification.  "
      id="image2" src="using_bpl_form00003.jpg"
      title="Coach completes form and can either submit now or save it as a draft, edit it, and submit it later. After submit, employee receives task or alert notification, and coach receives task notification. Coach can still edit form at this point. Employee acknolwedges form and completes tasks, and employee task changes to complete. Coach completes task, and task status changes to complete. Lastly, coach receives alert or message notification."
      style="margin-bottom: 6pt;" border="0" />&#160;</p>
    This seems like a pretty major bug to me. I know there have been scripts developed to delete the alt text so that graphic filename won't show up as the alt text, but is there anything that will take the existing alt text and populate the screen tip/title property with it, which seems to be the key to getting this to work in the output? There's no way I can manually copy and paste all the alt text into the images in RH, especially because I'll just end up having to redo it every time I update the linked FM files.
    Thanks,
    Jackie

    Hi Jackie,
    Offhand, your ALT string seems long. A quick search yielded info at http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/images/images_famsupp_85.html
    If a lengthy description is needed to describe the image, use the LONGDESC attribute to point to the URL of another page which has the lengthy description. Because LONGDESC is not yet sufficiently supported, also follow the image with a "D-link". A D-link is a standard anchor link with contents consisting of the capital letter "D", like this:
    Do you experience the same behavior with short alt strings as well?

  • Copy alt text to title [Branched from: WildCard Find & Replace Question]

    Fabulous, so now I am able to add the code (alt=" ") to any image that does not already have one. Now is there a way to do a similar task AND have the replace function fill in the text based on existing info.?
    My situation is I have images with alt text AND now have to add title info. to the image (title=" ") that is a duplicate of the alt text.
    SO, is there a way to tell the system to find all alt text tags and replace them with alt text and title tag, where the title tag is a duplicate of the alt info.?
         FIND alt="*.*"
         REPLACE with alt="*.*" title="*.*"
    I tried *.* and that does not work.

    Ok, thank you for the reminder about how a screen reader reads things. I am passing that along to my cohorts. A piece of the puzzle that may help is our reasoning for adding the title tag to images is that in IE8 browser the alt text is not always popping up when a user scrolls over the image, and by placing the title tag into the code then the text entered for the title tag does pop up when user scrolls over the image. Is there another/better way to do this?
    FYI - So I tried the method you suggested and below is the original code AND then the resulting code. The results only added the info. entered in the replace box verbatim and didn’t copy the alt text and place it in the title tag. It even overwrote my existing alt text.:
    Original code –
    img alt="US 8 (WIS 35 - US 53) Corridor Preservation overview/location map" height="220" src="images/map-overview.gif" width="300"
    img alt="Map key - Thick orange line is the project overview/location, thin purple and green lines are project segments, and the blue tear drop with dot in center are the project boundaries." height="174" src="../../images/map-keymultiseg.gif" width="271"
    Resulting code –
    img alt="$1" height="220" src="images/map-overview.gif" title="$1" width="300"
    img alt="$1" height="174" src="../../images/map-keymultiseg.gif" title="$1" width="271"
