Alt Text on All States of PSD Button

For AODA complaince in Canada we need to have alt text on every state of a PSD button, support here wold be ideal as currently the websites are not AODA compliant without this feature.

This is a bug and not a surprising one. Blinking has always been a hack
added to LabVIEW for BridgeVIEW and probably never fully integrated
into the normal object model of LabVIEW objects. As such it has
frequently broken with new objects such as the Tab Control. You may
want to report it to NI and hope they get to fix it in LabVIEW 8.0.
I'm not sure what you guys mean by brushed aluminium. This simply is a
dialog style control which can't be colored by the developer but will
attempt to take on whatever are the default colors set in your OS for
Windows backgrounds. Checkout the dialog Controls palette.

Add alt text to Photoshop Button

Is it possible to add alt text (and/or tooltips) to Photoshop Buttons?

Hi Julie,
Please refer to the following post:
Alt Text on Photoshop Button

Adding simple ALT Text to a photo

Is there some easy way of doing this? I have 30 photos or so
and I'm supose to add Alt Text to all the pictures, with the
peoples' names. The photos have a hot spot over them, so the photo
isn't actaully the button.

Check the font size in the options bar. If it's really small you won't see it.
Look in your layer's palette and insure your text is in a layer located above the photo in the stack.
You might also check your image's resolution in the Image Size dialog. I've seen a couple of posts where someone changes the resolution to 1 with resample turned off...then can't see the text because it's too small even when they have large numbers inserted in the font size box.

Alt text for photos not appearing

Hi,
I tagged a large document in InDesign (because Acrobat Pro's feature is too unpredictable).
I assigned alt text to all the photos, but when I hover my cursor over them while viewing the
exported PDF, only some are showing up.
It turns out that large photos that I have on chapter divider pages are the only ones
not showing their alt text, even though they are set up in InDesign structure view the
same way as all other photos.
Can anyone think of a reason why this is happening? The only thing I can think of
that's different about them is that they originally are from a master page. But because
each photo is unique, they've already been disconnected from the original master page.
Thanks,
Jane

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?

Alt-text not carried consistently

I have created alt-text for all my pictures in Adobe Bridge. I placed them in InDesign, and do see the alt-text from within InDesign
Object / Object Export Options / Alt-Text / source: from XMP: Description
I do see the alt-text I entered in Bridge.
When I export the file to accessible PDF, however, it says there is no alt-text.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Joyce

I'm guessing that when you exported from InDesign, you may have forgotten to check Create Tagged PDF in the Export PDF dialog.
I just tested with a small file I had that has metadata using InDesign CS6. I selected the Alt Text option in Object Export Options as you did:
I turned on Created Tagged PDF when I exported (works with either PDF (Print) or PDF (Interactive). When I opened the PDF in Acrobat, if I paused over the image with the Hand tool, I could see a tooltip (indicating the Alt text).
Or, you can choose the Edit Object tool (Content panel) and select the image. Then right-click on it and select Properties. You'll see it under the Tag tab:

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

Why would menu button's active state not work? Regardless if I import PSD button or use menu widget from the widget library.

I am using Adobe Muse CC (up-to-date) and tried to troubleshoot the following: Menu button's active state is not working, both on preview and after publishing. I tried many ways to place menu-designed buttons myself using photoshop and used widgets library (buttons, compositions, menus,etc.). Lastly, in regards to buttons, one of my menu buttons appear clear and crisp (psd button) and all others are blurry (though designed,saved and imported the same way);what could be the problem? Can anyone help?Thanks.

That line is for pop up message?You would typically use a tool tip for that.
The "Accessibility" features are different and I believe you need additional software to take advantage of them:

Alt Text on Photoshop Button

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if there a work around / cheat that allows you to set 'Alt Text' on a placed Photoshop Button in Muse?
Thanks heaps,
Cari

That won't work I'm afraid, the Alternative Text needs to be associated with the placed Photoshop button object itself for accessibility purposes.
E.g. for images you can add Alt Text quite easily by editing the Image Properties in Muse. However for a Placed Photoshop Button, these properties don't seem to be available. So I'm looking for a work-around (other than having to do this manually).
If I check the generated HTML for a page containing a Photoshop Button, I can see:
<div class="preload_images">
<img class="preload" alt="" src="images/photoshopbutton-u614-r-fr.jpg"></img>
<img class="preload" alt="" src="images/photoshopbutton-u614-m-fr.jpg"></img>
</div>
and there is an empty 'alt' attribute in the img-element. However, I don't see how within Muse you can populate this alt attribute

I am not able to view all the text in my chatpter/scene selections buttons.

I created chapters in iMovie. However, when I create the DVD in iDVD6, the chapter text gets cut off. I tried to decrease the font size, but that didn't work. It did make the text smaller, but it was still cut off (just smaller). Does anyone know how I can get the full chapter text on the chapter buttons?

No, not cut off on every button...just the ones with a lot of text. Example...one button is labeled..."The Smiths - Stop Me If You Heard This Before." The end of this button (on the right side) gets cut off. I am using the "Full Frame '05" theme.
An interesting note...I went back to look at my chapter titles in iMovie and they were cut off there too. So, maybe it is taking the titles as they appear in iMovie and that's where they are getting cut off and not in iDVD. Are chapter titles in iMovie limited to a certain amount of characters?

How can I create a navigation bar in the template so I can change the down state of a button on a page made from the template in DW3?

We're creating pages from a template in DW3. The template includes a header, footer and a navigation bar. We've made the navigation bar an editable region so that we can change the down state of the buttons on pages where it is required. However, when we make a new page from the template and try to change the behaviors of the buttons in the navigation bar it will not allow us to make those changes.

Have you considered using CSS styled text/list menus instead of image rollovers. It isn't hard really and it's actually a much better choice for web accessibility and for search engines to find and follow your links. Here are some links to several CSS menu systems you can try:

ALT text not appearing in PDF for EPS files

Hi,
I have a created a document in InDesign CS5.5 which has images and text. the document should be accessibility complaint.
The document has images which are in PSD, tiff, eps and PNG files. I have applied the Alt text for each images.
After I export the document as PDF, when I mouse over the images, the Alt text is appearing for all the image formats except EPS file format. But Acrobat reads the Alt text for the image.
I am wondering why the Acrobat is not showing the ALT text for EPS file formats when i mouse over the image.
Is anyone facing the same problem? should I do anything in the settings?
please help.
Regards
Ramji V K

The EPS image is not created in photoshop. the image is created in Illustrator.
Also, what do you mean by Single image? can you please explain a bit more about that?
Thanks.

Please add stats/appearances to buttons...

I ran in to a frustrating problem well building a page. The page has a MSO with 15 states in it. I created buttons for each state and found that I could not set a active appearance/state for the button so I could not just use 15 buttons to create my page. The only way I could do it was by putting the 15 buttons in to the 15 states and changing there appearance on each state. That all sounds easy tell you do the math and see that now I have to link not just 15 buttons to the correct states but now I have to link 225 buttons to the correct states! All this because I can not create a button with two or more appearances/states. Buttons need to have 3 stats unactive, active and touched so you can set the appearance on each state based on what is going on.
Thanks for reading my wall of text....

Thanks for reading the wall of text. and I am glad it is on the list no matter where it is on the list will make life a lot easior once it gets here.
One more thing why can you not link a button inside a MSO to a second MSO state?
Example MSO1 contains some buttons MSO2 contains some image states. Why can you not link the buttons in MSO1 to the states of MSO2?

Alt Text, tooltip, metadata & keywords.

I own a photographic stuido so our (3) sites are image driven with anywhere from 50 - 300 + images per site. I have been manualy entering Alt text and tool tips for the purpose of raising search visibility however with that many images/graphics it is way too time consuming. If there were a "fill all" option that would be great. Then I could go in and change a few words around in each image and not have to type everything over 200 times. Is that possible. Cut and paste is a step up but still tedious.

Hi Alan,

Alt text of image tooltip not showing for some cases

Hello,
I have followed the following steps in adding the alt text of images. Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Add alternate text and supplementary information to tags
However, there is a weird case where the tooltip of the alt text is not shown on hover for a specific page (page 5 of the attached PDF)
http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=63161349344665038065
Please advise if there is something wrong with the PDF that is causing Reader to not show the alt text for the images in that certain page. (and if the PDF should be fixed or is Reader the one that has a problem).
Thanks
