Alt Text in CS03 Screen

Hi All...
In CS03 screen (BOM), there is a field called ALT TExt for entering Text lines.
The field is from STKO-STKTXT.
If User enters the Text in that field, only First Line is getting stored in the SAP Table. The rest can not be seen in the Database Table.
Since the my requirement is to retrieve the second line of the Text, can any one guide me, where the rest of the text gets stored..???

Naren and All,
To get the Alt Text data, i have used the READ_TEXT function Module.
Coded as follows..
DATA: li_tline1 TYPE TABLE OF tline.
DATA: l_name1 LIKE thead-tdname.
DATA: i_tline1 TYPE TABLE OF tline WITH HEADER LINE.
data: i_stko type table of stko.
SELECT * FROM stko into table i_stko
   WHERE stlty EQ caufvd_p_tab-stlty
     AND stlnr EQ caufvd_p_tab-stlnr
     AND stlal EQ caufvd_p_tab-stlal
     AND aennr EQ caufvd_p_tab-saenr.
LOOP AT i_stko INTO stko.
      CONCATENATE stko-mandt stko-stlty stko-stlnr stko-stlal stko-stkoz INTO l_name1.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
        EXPORTING
          id       = 'MPO'
          language = 'E'
          name     = l_name1
          object   = 'BOM'
        TABLES
          lines    = li_tline1
        EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS   = 8.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        APPEND LINES OF li_tline1 TO i_tline1.
      ENDIF.
move i_tline1 to g_header-stktx.
endloop.
BUT Sill i am facing sy-subrc = 8.. Error..!!!
Can you help me out by giving exact Code..???

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:
<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" /> 
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:

<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:
<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" /> 
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?

Accessible pdf alt text read twice by on-screen reader

We are working on a math text book. We are currently creating an accessible pdf in addition to a text book for people who are visually impaired. We have ordered our text such that the on-screen reader reads the pages in the correct order and have tagged sections appropriately. However, some paragraphs contain several symbols that the on-screen reader cannot comprehend and for those we have made figures and inserted alt text that literally explains the equations. The problem is that the on-screen reader will first read the alt text but then will proceed to read the text itself that we are trying to replace. Thus many paragraphs are read twice. Please advise.

Hi,
Alternate Descriptions:
PDF documents may be enhanced by providing alternate descriptions for images, formulas, or other items that do not translate naturally into text.
But, you have content that does translate naturally into text. So, you get the alternate text entry and the content that is naturally renderable.
Consider use Replacement Text (Actual Text) or, when appropriate for abbreviations/acronyms, Expansion Text.
However, if the characters are naturally renderable, there is no need for any of these.
Do apply the PDF element for "formula" to the equation content.
Only use alternate text descriptions for image/graphic objects present in the PDF.
Avoid having other tagged content being associated with a child tag of a tag that has alternate or actual applied.
You may find having a copy of ISO 32000-1:2008 available helpful.
Obtain a free version oF ISO 32000-1.

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.

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?

How to invoke alt-text for images in a PDF file by Automation

Hi,
Can any one help me?
How to invoke Alt-text for Images in a PDF file using script?

How to define alt text for an anchored frame in FrameMaker 11?

What is the procedure in FrameMaker 11 to include alt text for anchored frames? We need to produce tagged PDF output that is accessibility compliant; this output must include alt text for each image in the document that a screen reader can read out.
In previous FrameMaker versions, it was possible to define alt text as follows:
Select the frame and choose Graphics > Object Properties.
Click Object Attributes.
In the Text Attributes section, add your alt text and actual text, and then click Set.
The FrameMaker online help still describes this same procedure, at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/framemaker/using/WSd817046a44e105e21e63e3d11ab7f7960b-7f0f.htm l. However, I see that in FrameMaker 11, what you get on choosing Graphics > Object Properties has completely changed from previous versions, and I cannot see Object Attributes.
Where is the alt text defined for an object in FrameMaker 11?

In the Anchored Frame panel, click on the Object Attributes button.

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.

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"

Accessibility Alt Text problem

I have an acronym in the PDF and want to create alternate text for it. I believe I understand the procedure to do so. I'm using the Read Out Loud feature in Acrobat Pro 9 to test it. The reader reads the alternate text first , but then it also reads the acronym itself. It's like an echo, except that the alt text reading is correct, and the second reading of the acronym is incorrect pronounciation.
Instructions in the help menu and on the web are very scimpy. I sure hope that someone can help with this.

Jay,
Here's an overview —
(1) Screen capture of an acronym in the text flow.
(2) Screen capture depicting use of Alternate Text.
(3) Screen capture depicting use of Expansion Text.
(4) Screen capture of PDF export to accessible text.
And, on to a synopsis of "breaking out" the pesky acronym.
"Break'n out" the acronym.
Open the Tags panel. Locate the container ('box') for the text string containing the acronym.
Now, New Tags must be made. In my example the string is content tagged by <Body> (which role maps to ).
The is a grouping element.
I added two tags. One is placed above and one below the original tag.
Next, selecting the Container 'holding' the text string I used the menu to Delete Tag.
On the PDF page the Select Tool is used to select the text string "Some text that, " (note that the space is included).
With focus back on the Tags panel and the first of the 3 tags selected "Create Tag from Selection" (on the Options menu). A Container with the selected text is now under this first tag. Repeat for the text string "BTW, " (again, include the space). Move focus to the Tags panel and select the 2nd tag then "Create Tag from Selection". Do this all again for the remaining text.
Now there are 3 in-line 'steps' under the <Body> tag which 'breaks out' the acronym.
With this the text string that is the acronym can be given Expansion Text.
Select the Container having the acronym. From the Options menu select Properties.
In the Properties dialog select the Content tab. Spell out the acronym in the Expansion Text field then tab out of the field to "set" the entry. Close the Properties dialog. Save As.
Okay, one acronym down! Now, we do it again, and again, and ....
Be well...

Alt Text visible time

In any case, using alt text is an accessibility feature, and
you
should always do it. If you want tooltips, use the title
attribute.
(If you /don't/ want tooltips, use title="".)

Alt text accessibility

Greetings,
Enjoying Edge Animate quite a bit, but am looking to make it more accessible.
1. How does one add alt text to images in Edge Animate?
2. Assuming that images can be given alt text, how does one set up the animation so one can 'tab key' (or give focus) to a given image/button?
The end goal is to allow the Windows8 screen reader, Narrator, the ability to read the alt text when an img/button is tabbed to.
Thanks for your help!
k

Hi Elaine,
Thank you so much for your quick reply and for pointing out the Accessibility section. I also found the Alt: input under the Image property, though I had to change my image from 'div' to 'img' in order to enable the Alt: input, makes sense.
Despite these features, I'm still not having the success I hope to have while using either Win7 or Win8 Narrator/screen reader.
In the following animation, I have given the top 4 images both titles and alt text, but neither version of Win Narrator can find/read the text.
I should be able to hit the tab key, tab to one of the images, and have Narrator read the alt text/title, but this is not happening.

Remove underscore from buttons, add Alt text

Hi,
Thanks in advance for your help. I am having more problems with the RH's Govt template. The forward and back buttons would not appear, so I have created my own buttons and incorporated into my user guide. However, there is an underscore appearing in between my buttons (it's not on my images). If I remove this underscore from the Topic (default) page of the template, it removes one of my buttons. My developer can't figure this one out either.
Also, when I add the Alt text into the HTML code, it does not appear when I generate the file. Here's where I am with this now:
RH's Back/next does not work, so I went into the Layout and added my own buttons, which appear here on the Topic (default) page of the template. What are all the underscores?
2. This is the generated User Guide - any attempt to remove this underscore will delete the button on the right.
3. This is my coding. You see that I have the Alt text in the coding, however, it does not appear in the generated user guide. Also, I don't see anything resembling an underscore in the coding.

William,
Thanks for your response. My developer and I incorporated the above into the HTML source code and it removed the right arrow button. Any time we make a change to this particular section of code, it deletes the right arrow button. Sheesh. The only workaround was to do all code editing in Notepad and then paste it back into RH again. We have to do this every time. It's annoying. So having done this in Notepad, the underscore is gone, but the Alt tags still don't appear.
This is where we are now with the code:
<td><a href="javascript:history.go(-1)" style="text-decoration:none;"> <img src="BSBack.png" alt="Back"
 style="visibility: visible;"
 width="60" height="31"
 border="0" /> </a><?rh-msp-bs-back-start
 id="browseSeqBack" widgettype="browsesequence"
 class="wBSBackButton" ?>
 <a href="javascript:history.go(+1)"> <img src="BSNext.png" alt="Forward"
 style="visibility: visible;"
 width="60" height="31"
 border="0" /> </a><?rh-msp-bs-back-start
 id="browseSeqNext" widgettype="browsesequence"
 class="wBSBackButton" ?></td>
Also, this has caused a new problem: when I save (generate) this to the server and test it , every time I click on a different topic, 'Show' flashes on and off on the screen and the arrow buttons shift right, then back left. Now, we initially moved the arrows to a different location in the Theme2_Government template. Does that have anything to do with this goofy flashing and movement?
Thanks again,
Pam

Alt-text 'tool tip' not appearing on some images

We get pdf files created by outside sources that we then need to publish on our webpage. I add tags to the pdf, then add the alt-text to the images via the Touch Up Text tool. As well as I can determine, the tag for the alt-text is present in the pdf. The Read Out Loud function in Acrobat reads the alt-text correctly as does a screen reader. But the 'tool tip' does not appear on all images. It seems that the more complex, mulitple layered dwg type images do not display the text, either from the browser, or from Acrobat itself. Other dwg source images do work, and photgraphic images are ok.
I have gone back through the pdfs to verify the existence of the figure tag, and that the alt-text is there.
I have opened the tags dialog, looked at the properties, and added the text to the Title field as well as the alt-text and Actual Text.
I have converted the images to jpgs, which resolves the issue, but greatly reduces the quality of the image.
I am using Acrobat Pro 8.1.4 on a Windows XP, sp2 system.
I am aware that the ADA requirement do not require the 'tool-tip' to function, but when you have many, many pages of images in a pdf using a screen reader or the read out loud function to test is not feasible for testing. We need to have the tool-tip working, and I have run out of ideas on how to make it work.

I just figured out that those photos had been set to a blending mode of Multiply
because an earlier iteration of the design used transparency. But to the eye, they
look like normal photos, so I didn't realize they were set to Multiply.
This solved the problem but it's not heartening news. What if my graphic legitimately
did have a blending mode set? What would my workaround be if I needed to set Alt Text
for those images?
