Alt Tags on Buttons

Can you add alt tags to buttons/graphics in a .fla file to
help increase searchability on the internet? If so, how do you do
it?

Great! Thanks BarryG!
One follow up question though.
If I wanted to make the button alt tag dynamic so I could add individual alts for individual buttons, could I reference the comments text for the button somehow?
I tried just adding alt="#COMMENTS#" to the template. Is there a way to reference this?
Yog.

How can I alt tag the TOC button that appears at the top of the menu?

Running the current version of Cp7 on a windows 7 machine.
A 508 hang up once again: The customer insists on an active TOC for the project file. We've activated the TOC and it works fine, but there's a secondary TOC expand/collapse button located at the top of the slide right here:
Although I can change the icon for the expand/collapse TOC in the TOC setting menu:
I can't put an alt tag on the button, meaning that JAWS and other screen readers just reads it as an unnamed button - which would be "bad" if you're trying to pass a 508 compliance test - which I am. I know alt tags don't travel with the image file, and I can't find any way to access the file in Captivate to give it an accessibility name. Anybody have a workaround?

You can replace the current image with one of your own choosing. But even if you make the replacement just a one pixel GIF, I think it will still register somewhere in the screenreader as a button.
However, to be fair to Captivate, you can use the TOC button on the playbar to activate the TOC if need be, or you can set up on screen buttons to do that.
Personally, I wouldn't be using an overlay TOC at all. I'd be trying for a Separate TOC so that it was available all the time.
However, I had read somewhere on this forum (a year or so back) about someone else finding that the links on the TOC itself were not completely 508 compliant. So maybe you're just chasing your tail here if you're trying to achieve perfect 508 compliance.

Alt tags in Perferences?

I am trying to keep my markup valid.
I am lazy when inserting an image as I don't use the alt tag option as it is usually my last on my list is to tag everything when the website is complete. Plus images change and small button images don't really require alt tags.
Is there a way in Dreamweaver to add the Alt atribute automatically alt="" in the prefernces when you insert an image?
thanks

as I don't use the alt tag option as it is usually my last on my list is to tag everything when the website is complete.
I used to have the same workflow and adding alt to images at the end was a pain.
Now I have Edit > Preferences > Accessibility, Images checked and DW prompts me to insert the alt attribute every time I insert an image.

I've decided it's best to be forced to do it as I go rather than revisit the images when my design is done.

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.

Sharepoint 2013 on premises Tags & Notes button in List and Document library is disabled.

Hi,
In My Sharepoint 2013 on premises installation Tags & Notes button in List and Document library ribbon is appearing as greyed out.
I have checked that managed metadata service, User profile services are running. Also have given required permissions to the logged in user.
As I came to know that Tags & Notes feature has been retired in Sharepoint online. Is this happening because of same reason as I have downloaded the Sharepoint 2013 on premises version recently or do I need to change some settings.
Please advice.

Hi Saurav,
pls check below
What version of SharePoint 2010 "SP 2010 Foundation or SP 2010 Server" you need to have SP 2010 server and to have the "User Profile service application".
How do you configure the "User Profile service application" did you add the "Social Tagging Database"
Create, edit, or delete a User Profile service application (SharePoint Server 2010)"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721052.aspx
When you access to "Application Management>Manage service applications>User Profile Service Application>Manage User Permissions" validate if the all authenticated users Group have the "use Social Features" checked.
Also validate in Central Administration in Farm Features if you have social tags and notes activated.

How to include alt tags in Javascript

how do I get the javascript in my navigation menu to be read from an external file (java include)?
I've never learned how to create an external file so I'm a little hazy on how to accomplish this task.
Thanks!
Lynn

Hi! Thanks for attempting to answer my question...frankly I'm not sure what I'm asking.
My pages are coldfusion (.cfm) and I have two javascript areas on the page where there is a navigation menu and a set of swapping .swf files. what I believe my graphic department is asking me to do is to create a file in my includes folder that will provide the scripting for the menu and will include the alt tags for each of the items on the naviation menu.
Not a friggin' clue on how to accomplish this...so I'm looking for a tutorial or tutor. the website is www.calibresys.com
Thanks!

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.

Cristinel

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.

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.

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}

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

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" />

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.

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.

Alt tags for Flash content; How do I get rid of them

With the new Dreamweaver update, all my flash files have
acquired Alt tags. I imagine this has something to do with the
javascript it is now using to load the content. However, how do I
get rid of them! My clients HATE them, and I do too!

OK -
This is the only markup you need to worry about -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=8,0,22,0','width','751','height','126','src','../SWFs/topNav?<%=Request.
QueryString%>','quality','high','wmode','transparent','pluginspage','
http://www.
macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','../SWFs/topNav?<%=Request.QueryString
%>' ); //end AC code
</script>
But I have to ask you - what is the VBScript in there doing?
It seems to me
to be invalid as well - 'request.querystring' needs a
"(stringname)" or an
empty (), no?
So - there is no "alt" attribute specified in there (nor can
there even be
one on Flash, anyhow). Without seeing the actual page, I can
only shrug and
say I have no idea....
