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,

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

  • Add alt text to Photoshop Button

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

  • 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.

  • Menu alt text - editable?

    I've made a manual menu for one of the pages I've set up in Muse.  Somehow, I set one of the buttons to have alt text - a text message that pops up when you hold the mouse pointer over the button.  (The same that you can do for images  using the alt="text" code)  So I know it's possible to set menu buttons to have pop up alt text.  But the other buttons I set up don't have it.  Nor can I change the alt-text on the button that does have it.
    Does anyone know where that is done?  Can it be done?
    By the same token, I created a rectangle and used an image as the fill - but I can't set up alt-text for that either. 
    Any help is appreciated -
    Thanks in advance
    The site is here:  http://home.comcast.net/~gregfisk/resume.html
    The button at the bottom has pop up text.  None of the others do, and I'd like to be able to set that up.

    You could probably use find/change to add the space.
    I'd try the followng GREP:
    \.(?![\d\s[:punct:]]) which I believe will find the periods not followed by any type of whitespace, a digit, or other punctuation (you might not want to change those elsewhere in the document if your search scope is not narrow enough to limit it to the descriptions, and even then there might be cases that would apply).
    Replace with $0<spacebar>
    For clarity, <spacebar> indicates you should type the space.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • How do I import a Photoshop button (including it's different states) into the muse menu widget?

    I had the idea of using the "place Photoshop button" option to configure the states in my horizontal menu bar in Muse.  I started out trying to use the widget, after playing with the options it seems I can either load each individual state one at a time in manual mode or I can try to make a menu bar from the buttons and manually place the respective links.  I would be grateful for a suggestion or alternative method that is as easy as the "place Photoshop button" option, I love that feature.  Thanks in advance.
    J
    UPDATE:  I found that I could use Fill image then in import fill options, import layer + clip layer contents for each of the states.  It was working very well but I noticed an error in one of my buttons states so I had to go back to Photoshop.  When I returned to start this process again and I clicked import layer, the states are all flat plain text without any of the blending options I had set for each state. The odd part is that I can see all the layers in composite, but it will not let me place each layer as it did before. 
    After several frustrating hours going through every step I edited and even trying to load the buttons I thought were exactly the same file I used before I could not find what I had done differently to cause this.  I did successfully place each Photoshop button in empty space and the cut and paste them into the menu. Which is way easier then the original method.  I would like to know if anyone has an idea what went wrong for the sake of knowledge.  Also thought that this cut paste method might help others trying to build menu buttons outside of Muse.    

    I'm afraid Photoshop is a graphics program ill suited for generating good HTML and CSS code.  Use Photoshop to create your images only. Use DW to build your HTML, CSS and menus.
    Have a look at this tutorial:

  • 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!

  • Alt text mouseover in hyperlink text?

    I use alt tag text in Dreamweaver CS4 to give a text synopsis of the content on the linked page. If possible, how do you make alt text in the mouse-over of a hyperlink, for PDF output?External hyperlink text does give the address as a mouse-over alt text, but how do you modify that alt text?
    If this is impossible in InDesign CS4, what would be the most efficient work-around solution? Comment boxes in Acrobat? Flash?

    There is no way that I know to define Alt text when creating a hyperlink. However, if a hyperlink points to a URL, when you pause your mouse over the hyperlink in Acrobat or Reader, a tooltip will show the URL the hyperlink points to.
    What you might investigate is using buttons. A little-used feature of creating buttons (which can be used to trigger actions of various kinds) is that you can specify what you could call "Alt text" which appears as tooltips when you mouse over them. When you define the button in the Button panel in CS4 or CS5, go to the flyout menu in the Button panel and select PDF Options. There is a Description field there which creates the text for a tooltip. So if the button is used to trigger a sound, for example, you could have the Description read "Double-click to Play". You'll see that text in the tooltip.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Creating Photoshop buttons for motion menus and photoshop menus

    Hi I need to create buttons in photoshop for both a photoshop menu and a motion menu on DVD studio pro program
    Can someone tell me how to do it on both different menus?
    I really need some DETAILS on how to do it. Thanks for your time and responses ahead of time

    OK, here's what I recommend you try...
    Create the footage for your motion menu background. In that footage fade in the button shapes and text for the buttons exactly as you want them to appear. Hold the final position of these buttons for at least 30 seconds. save an image of the still portion to act as a guide in photoshop. Encode that footage to MPEG2 using Compressor and import it in to DVDSP.
    Take the still image in to photoshop and add a single layer to the file. On the new layer, create a shape of some kind (an underline, tick, circle, cross, box around, arrow, etc) next to the background button text. Make these shapes (for each piece of background text) black, and leave the rest of the layer white. Hide or delete the background layer and save the result as a .pict image. Import it in to DVDSP.
    Take the motion footage and drop it in to a menu. use the loop point in the property inspector to define where the 'still' portion of that footage begins. Now drag the .pict overlay image in to the same menu, but hold it a second until the contextual menu appears... set it as the overlay. Drag out button rectangles around the background text and position for the shapes in the overlay. Make sure the rectangles don't overlap, and set up the target for these buttons as well as the navigation between them.
    Use the property inspector to adjust the colours for the overlay - set it to be a simple overlay and in grayscale. What should happen is that when the menu plays the animated sequence starts first but as soon as the loop point is reached the overlay becomes active. The first button defined will be set as selected. You should now see the menu with the buttons faded in to position and the buttons should be clickable.
    When returning to this menu you may not want the viewer to sit through the animated sequence each time. Use a script (in DVDSP4) to specify that they return to the loop point only (the bit where the buttons are) or create a second menu that is identical to the loop point and send the viewer there instead.
    As you can see, there are several steps involved and I have made assumptions that you know something about menus and constructing buttons. It is all in the manual, but you will need to be familiar with Photoshop (or whatever image editor you prefer) to do this properly.
    You do not need to try to make four layer shapes and bring them in to the menu, and if you attempt to add anything else from the templates panel to this menu then the image quality will suffer as DVDSP builds the disc. If you do want to add other shapes and text to the menu then don't do the export to MPEG2... keep it as a simple QT .mov file.
    Please let us know how you get on after trying this method, and after reading up on those manuals

  • 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
