If you use {tag_largeimage_path} that gives you the raw URL of the large image for example and you can then set this up in your own html with alt tag of say the product name or title.

Adding alt text to composition widget images?

How do I add alt text and image titles for Composition>Blank widgets images? When I control-click the image, the context menu does not include these options.

I'm not sure how to describe the problem I'm having, so here's a screen shot of my composition widget with images placed (it's a bit sloppy, but I'm running out of patience for fine-tuning until I get this situation figured out).
After file>placing a thumbnail image in a trigger, I file>placed the corresponding image in its target area. I then clicked on the second trigger, placed the thumbnail. But the second trigger didn't click through to the second target panel, which would have been a grey panel. So I thought I maybe I should just go ahead and place the second target image anyway, but it just sits there on top. I did this for three images. The first target image placed is on the bottom, then the second, and the third placed target image is on top. So I can't figure out how to click from one target panel to the next to place each image, getting it to correspond with its proper trigger. Does this make any sense yet?
You can see how they look like they are separate and layered, and when sizing, or moved in any way, they are become ungrouped, rather than as a group such as when I used the fill option. Last, when I click on the trigger thumbnail images, the triggers just aren't activating the target panels at all. I'm at a complete loss on this. I think I've tried everthing, but obviously I'm missing something. Thanks again.

Adding Alt Text to Images

Hi
I would like to add Alt text to a number of images on my site.
I have been sucessful in achieving this by selecting either the image on the page or in the asset panel, right clicking and then going to Edit Image Properties.
However I have a number of pages which contain Image compositions initially created in Ilustrator then saved as flat jpeg or png images inserted using Fill into a Blank Composition Wigit. The images all have triggers on top.
All of this works well
However , I seem unable in any way, to by right clicking on the images either on the page in Design mode or by highlighting the file in the Asset panel to bring up the Edit Image Properties dialogue box for the images (as part of the wigit composition).
I get a dialogue box by right clicking but one that contains Paste /Select Same /Arrange /Lock etc
Is it not possible to Add Alt Text to such combined images in a wigit , Should anyAlt Text be added earlier in the Design , Fill or construction stage
Any pionters or help would be very welcome
Thank You

Hi
I didn't get any replies to my post, but think I may have been able to resolve my own question.
I had been using the Fill with Image option to accurately place the images in the Wigit. This process as I mentioned does not seem to allow one to access the Edit Image Properties dialoge properties window by right clicking the image.
However when I deleted the image as a Fill and use the Place feature to insert the combined image with the same X-Y co-ordinates (and did a liltte bit of work to get the Wigit triggers to the front) right clicking now seems to allow access the Edit Image Properties
Success - I think !
Thanks

Adding alt text tags in InDesign (and Acrobat Pro)

I am having real difficulty adding alternative text tags. I created an INDD doc with rollover buttons linked to URLs firstly in InDesign CS4. I couldn't add alt text tags in CS4 so I then tried to add them in Acrobat X Pro but failed. Acrobat keeps wanting to class the PDF as a form. I then installed InDesign CS6 from the cloud and added alt text to the rollover buttons via object export options. However, these do not show when I export to PDF.
Can someone help me add alt text to my rollover buttons in my interactive PDF either in InDesign CS6 or in Acrobat Pro after I export it?

In InDesign CS6, you just need to add descriptions to buttons. This is done in the buttons and forms panel:
This is the alt text in Acrobat when you roll over the button:
Hope that helps!

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">
        <a class="anchor_item grpelem" id="untitled"></a>
        <div class="grpelem" id="u4433">
         <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?

Automatically adding alt text to graphics

Here is a pie-in-the-sky project that is way beyond my abilities. Anyone up for that challenge will have my (and probably other's) endless gratitude.
I would like a script that creates an "alt text" for graphics based on the text of its caption in the document.
The structure would be something along the lines of:
1. Enumerating each anchored frame that contains a graphic
     a. Testing to see if a specific paragraph style follows the anchored frame
     b. If exists, selecting the text of that specific paragraph style
     c. Setting the "Alternate" object property of the anchored frame
So after most graphics we have a caption using a "Figure Title" paragraph style. The script should create the text like: "This image is a screen shot of " + figTitle. Then populate the Alternate field of the Object Attributes dialog box of the Object Properties of the anchored frame.

Milo--
While I'm not volunteering to write the script, I would encourage you to tackle it yourself. It is hardly a pie-in-the-sky project, and if you have any desire to expand your abilities, this would be a worthwhile exercise.
You've already taken the first step by outlining the basic structure.
There are several threads you might find useful in putting it all together
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/959627?tstart=0 --The main subject is about deleting aframes, but it spends a bit of time discussing how to iterate through all the frames in a document and determining their contents.

Why don't you show the rendered code? (Not server code)

Img alt="text" not displayed when images are turned off in Safari

I have tried to search this, but every search has returned too many posts, so I apologize in advance.
Have I made some error or is there an issue with my Safari? 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.
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.
Is this just my Safari? How do I fix this if it is?
Is it Safari in general? If so, how do we get it fixed, because this is clearly just not correct?

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.)

Will search engines read the alt= text for a banner image within the h1 tag?

I read where the search engines focus on the text within the
header h1 tags. If I'm using a graphic that contains this important
introductory info (as apposed to text), and put the text in the
alt= section of the image, will the search engines us this text in
the alt section of the image?

Depends. I have a logo on my site with an alt description
"orange kitten

Google Images: The image is #1

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

Large alt text for pdf images

I'm trying to include alt text for my pdf images but the text is over the character limit. Is there any way to include longer alt text (for example through the use of an external file and a longdesc tag) in a pdf, or am I basically stuck with the character limit no matter what I do?

Does anybody at Mozilla read this or is it just for venting frustrations?
Alt-text is NOT just for when the image can't be displayed. For instance, in my work I use a particular kind of colour palette. It used to be that when I hovered over the little square showing the colour, that the colour number would appear. It's the ONLY way to know what colour you're dealing with, in this case.
This used to be available in Firefox, but suddently it disappeared. This is forcing me to use Safari, which has this feature. But I prefer to work with Firefox.
This is very frustrating!!!

Xkcd+alt-text in a pdf?

I would love to see some kind of tool, a script that download every xkcd comic and the alt text and put them in a pdf file. It would be great to print and put on the can for everyone to read.
Anybody of you guys that knows of a script that does this? Or are willing to create one?

whacath wrote:But "putting more then one comic on one page" doesnt seem to work with xkcd comics
It works, but since most images are too large, reportlab places only one image per page. Use --scale option to decrease sizes of images.
moljac024 wrote:Wouldn't it better if the alt-text was below the image, not above it?
Done.
Updated the script.
1) Added --margin-{left,right,top,bottom} options to specify margins (in inches) when using reportlab
2) Added an ability to output comics to a HTML-file
3) Added --title-font-size and --alt-font-size options (guess what they do )
4) --scale option renamed into --image-scale
Output to HTML currently doesn't support image scaling to remove the dependence on python-imaging when using this mode.

Acrobat X Pro: Accessibility Report says No Alt Text for image but there is

I have added the alternate text for images on my pdf but the accessibility report is still giving me errors stating that there is no alternate text. Does anyone have any idea why? I have checked and the alt text is there. I don't understand this.
Thank you.

I assume when you click on the error it is taking you to the location where the error is. Not seeing the document it is hard to tell... do you have a multi-page document and when you click on the error does it take you to the location where that problem is?
There are several things that could cause this problem. The Figure or other tag that contains the alt text must have content. It cannot be an empty tag.
It also cannot have another Tag inside of it containing the content. There must be some actual content directly within the Tag with the alt text, not nested inside another Tag, if that makes any sense.
Or, there may be another Figure Tag that has no content. That, too, will generate an error.
If neither of those suggestions work, if you post the file I can probably find the problem.
