508 "Alt tagging" of images in Captivate?

Hi,
I have a Capitvate files that's published as an exe which needs to be fully 508 Compliant. Does anyone have any ideas how to enable ALT tagging of images in an exe? Is that even possible? I thought that you could only do this for web content.
I selected auto-tag for images in Capitvate, though the Jaws screen reader didn't read the descriptions. How is the auto-tagging supposed to work exactly?
Thanks,
Dan

Why does muse not properly support alt tags for images?!?!

Greetings,
I am fully aware that when you place an image on your site page, right click, click edit image properties, you can then create the title text (by writing the contents in the Tooltip box) and create Alt Text (by writing the contents in the Alternative text box).
What I cant get my head around is that when done, and published, most if not ALL seo checking programs (in my case ravens-seo-tools) bring up an error that images are missing Title Text and Alt Text. Yes I have gone through every image on my site and have done everything I can do, that adobe has stated in their SEO Optimisation directions to ensure each image is properly optimised.
Example:
As you can see, it appears my site has an unhealthy amount of image issues.
Looking at the third image above, an image on JEM Fulfilment Client Testimonial | Lin and Leo with the filename lin-and-leo-logo.jpg, the ravens seo tool program has picked up the ALT Text but has shows that their is no Title Text.
and looking at the image provided below you can see that I have filled out each part to ensure this image is optimised.
Can someone please explain, what is up with MUSE. Because I have been trying to figure out how to fix this situation for months and I havent been able to come up with any resolution.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

It seems to be showing up in the source code.

Can't find images in Iweb SEO Tools to add alt-tags!

Hi everyone. I'm trying to add alt-tags to some images on an iweb site with iweb SEO tools but I can't get it to open the containing folder. I have a gallery set up with 6 categories and, in each of these categories, there are a few images. I navigate to the folder that contains each image (it actually contains 4 - the full sized image and three thumnails for use elsewhere - all of them jpgs) but iweb SEO Tools is just not recognising that the folder contains any images at all! I navigate my way through my file structure and, when I finally get to the containing folder, it hits a dead end and will not find the contents of it. Any ideas!?
An example of my file structure is as follows:
RRF
- Gallery
- Pages
- Landscapes_files
- Media
- dintonpastures [containing folder for images]
- dintonpastures.jpg [that SEO refuses to see!]
Any help would be really appreciated!!

Photo templates are written in Javascript and cannot be accessed by iWeb SEO. Only images you create on a blank page or without using the photo template (HTML generated). They don't tell you that on Rage's website, in fact I find their advertising misleading in that they claim that you can alt tag "all" images in iWeb. But, it's free software, so you get what you pay for.

Alt tags

how do i add alt tags to images in my pdf file

Open a PDF with Acrobat Pro. Have the Navigation panel showing (F4 if it is not).
Now you want the Tags pane available via the Navigation panel.
For Acrobat XI Pro (Acrobat X Pro will be something similar):
View > Show/Hide > Navigation Panes > Tags
You open the Tags pane. Is the structure tree present? If so then the PDF is tagged.
A quick check is to open a PDF's Document Properties. Under the Description tab at the bottom left the is a "Tagged PDF" entry. Thing is this entry can be 'spoofed' without the PDF actually being tagged. So, I prefer the check of the Tags pane.
Be well.

Alt tag rollovers in accessible pdfs

How can I make the alt tags for vector images (paths) show up upon rollover in my accessible PDF files. My alt tags show up for all raster images, but not for any eps, ai or png files... Is there a fix for this, either in InDesign or in Acrobat XI... a fix that does not involve using raster for everything please!

UPDATE:
I have spent a long time trying to find an answer to this to no avail. I have finally contacted Adobe Tech Support and explained the issue that concerns me and I have had a response from a senior expert on InDesign/Acrobat/Accessibility.
The issue is as follows:
When you prepare an InDesign document so that the generated tagged pdf is fully accessible for screen readers and the like (create TOC, include bookmarks, add document structure, tag untagged items, map styles to tags, tag uneccessary content as artifacts, include alt tags for images etc.) the bullets in bulleted lists cause the pdf to fail the Full Accessibility Check in Acrobat Pro. The full accessibility report will flag bullets as 'Inaccessible Page Content - the element is not contained within the document structure tree'. This is acceptable from the targeted end user audience (viz those with impaired vision using screen readers) because , as Acrobat states "Content that is not attached to the structure tree will not be available via assistive technology like screen readers." Well you don't really want the screen reader saying "Bullet" or similar everytime it comes across one, do you?
The problem is that the pdf "fails" the full accessibility check and when you are being paid to create fully accessible pdf's, this scares the client somewhat.
The solution:
I explained the above to the Adobe expert and asked if there was an efficient way, in InDesign CS2, to tag all "bullets" as artifacts so that they would be ignored by screen readers AND be seen as artifacts by the Acrobat Pro Full Accessibility Checker and hence pass the check. His answer was NO. I said in the past I had tediously, laboriously gone through the documents in Acrobat pro and marked every bullet as 'background' (= an artifact) to make it pass the Full access checker successfully. Surely, I asked, there must be a simpler way to do this? No, was his answer! "It's extremely cumbersome... but it's the only way"
Aaaahhh.

Unable to Add Alt Tags to Placed Images

I am developing a flyer that will be distributed as a PDF, and our requirement is that it be "Section 508" compliant, that is, readable by a screen reader. I am trying to add alt tags to the images in order to meet this requirement, but when I go to Object -> Object Export Options and click on the Alt Text tab, theAlt Text Source pull-down menu is greyed out and does not allow me to do anything.
Does anyone have any idea of what is wrong here?

It's working for me in the current version of InDesign CC.
Version of InDesign? Computer platform? What file format is the image in?

How do I add an alt tag to an image in Photoshop CS5 so that it is web ready?

How do I add an alt tag to an image in Photoshop CS5 so that it is web ready? My web developer wants me to send him all of my images with an alt-tag assigned so that he can automate the ADA accessibility of the website. I know when I choose to "Save for Web & Devices," I have the option of how much metadata I want to include to the levels of : None, Copyright, Copyright and Contact Info, All Except Camera Info, All. I don't want the audience to be able to view all of the metadata because a lot of it is sensitive with administrative notes. Any ideas?

To anyone else who may encounter this issue in the future, here is a work around:
File > File Info:
Sacrifice a metadata field in the description tab. I chose document title and description. Click OK.
File > Save for Web and Devices:
Choose to save All Metadata.
Leave things here on your end, and have the web-developer map the code to display only the appropriate metadata field.

Safari and image ALT tags

I was testing out some html stuff last night involving images, I hover over a few images and to my absolute horror - realised that ALT tags weren't working.
Now I can't remember if they worked before I updated to 10.4.5 but I think they did as I distinctly remember seeing alt text as images were loading but I cannot be 100% sure.
The only changes I've made recently is 10.4.5 and installed flash player 8 plugin.
Someone please tell me that ALT tags do work in safari and that they are not working due to an update bug or setting or something???
Please!!
Thanks

Hello,
The current version of the service does not include the functionality to update a page title and description. For the images, the ALT text can be updated by opening the Advanced menu on the right and filling in the Tooltip field.

Large Image - ALT tags

How do I remove the automatic alt tag from my large product image?
I have replaced my images with you tube videos so now the alt tags are visible at all times.

I am guessing it is just an image and you have a custom field for the youtube link.
And what you are doing is putting the tag {tag_videoimage} like..
<img src="{tag_videoimage}" alt="Video" />
If you are you will have this issue because that tag will render its own image html wrapped in an ancor tag.
You will need to add _value to your tag..
{tag_videoimage_value}

Dynamic Image Alt Tags

Hi,
I used dreamweaver, with php and server behaviors to bind
dynamic Image Alt Tags on dynamically generated images.
The dynamic image Alt Tags are showing in Internet Explorer
but not showing in Mozzila Firefox?
Does anyone know why or how to fix that?
Mathuman

They are attributes, not tags. And the alt attribute is not
supposed to
show in any browser unless the user has disabled images for
faster
downloads. If you want a 'tooltip' effect, then you would
have to use the
title attribute, not the alt attribute to do that, e.g.,
<img src="foo.jpg" alt="this will not display" title="this
will display" />

Using WEB Output HTML Gallery and uploading using ftp upload the HTML page views correctly but images only display the alt tag?

Using WEB Output HTML Gallery and uploading using ftp upload the HTML page views correctly but images only display the alt tag in the browser window?

After a little investigation, I discovered that PNGs also do not render correctly in IE7 in similar circumstances.
I ended up using Levels in Photoshop to bring the output blacks up to "5", saved the images as PNGs, modified the HTML from .jpg to .png, and that seems to have covered up the problem well enough.
By the way, I did confirm that IE8 beta 2 renders the images correctly.

JSF InputCalendar tag image accessibility alt tag issue

When using an inputCalendar tag in JSF combined with the attribute popupButtonImageUrl, is it possible to set the ALT tag for the "popupButtonImageUrl image".
Is it also possible to set the ALT tags for the built in arrow images in the calendar control ?
Thanks for all your help.
Nando

MyFaces is just a standard JSF implementation, it doesn't have a calendar component, as said before.
Are you talking about Tomahawk? Well, they have a mailinglist over there at apache.org. Good luck.

Adding an Alt Tag actually MOVES the image?

I don't understand this at all. All I am doing is modifying
an alt tag on an image, and that image actually moves to a
different location on the page, both in the DESIGN VIEW inside DW
CS 3 and on the webpage itself when I save it to the server. I have
even gone in and told the system never to rewrite code on php
files, which this file is.
Is there some known issue I should know about, or a solution
to this problem? Very frustrating.
You can see what image Im referring to here -
folliclone.com/index1.php ... the "Get Started" image ... when i
change the alt from the existing "getstarted" to something else
like "hair loss guides", the image actually moves itself above the
"SEARCH image on the left, and screws up the entire alignment of
the page in doing so.

The problem is that you're using an XHTML doctype and XHTML
requires
that all tag and attributes names be lower case. If you
change the above
to:
<meta name="robots" content="noodp" />
<meta name="googlebot" content="noodp" />
I suspect you'll find it validates just fine.

The ampersand has special meaning in the source code of html.
It is the
beginning of a character entity. To properly display an
ampersand in the
rendered page, you need to use the & character
entity.

It's not a limitation of the validator. The validator is
doing exactly
what it's supposed to do. It's indicating invalid code. Made
up tags are
not valid, so they get flagged as such. Browsers are supposed
to ignore
any tag they don't understand, but it seems risky to me. What
is the
purpose of putting a tag that means nothing in the code?

Why doesn't the alt tag work in firefox to open a description of an image on mouseover

In IE, when I roll my mosue over an image, it gives a tooltip description of the image contained in the html alt tag. Why doesn't this work in Firefox?

The "alt" tag is meant to show text when the image isn't loaded, the "title" tag is meant for a description of an image on cursor hover. IE has been doing that wrong for many years, where Firefox follows W3C standards. A properly coded webpage should have both "alt" and "title" tags.

Will Site Search Index Image "alt" tags

Well, that's the question. Will a site search set to type "Entire Website" index image "alt" tags or, as a plus, PDFs?
Thanks!

Hi,
Alt tags are not searchable, but pdfs are!

Alex
