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

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" />

Will Site Search Index Image "alt" tags

Well, that's the question. Will a site search set to type "Entire Website" index image "alt" tags or, as a plus, PDFs?
Thanks!

Hi,
Alt tags are not searchable, but pdfs are!
Kind Regards,

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}

Image Alt Tags

Hi,
Does anyone know if Google indexing is helped any by using alt image tags?
Thank you.

Since they are text they would be indexed just like any other text part of your page.
iWeb leaves them out, however and leaves just an empty alt="" tag. You would have to edit the published page code to insert them.

About Layout control and Image alt text

Can i use normal HTML div tags to control layout ? is it bad practice or not? or i should go for template?
Can anyone please suggest how to add alt text and title to the images(logo) in ADF .

Use af:image for displaying images.
You could specify alt text in shortDesc attribute property of af:image.
<af:form id="f1">
<af:image source="/images/SubbanaSolutions.png"
shortDesc="Subbana Solutions" id="i1"/>
</af:form>For more details regarding af:image, check this:

Safari and images

I am having a weird problem. I'm trying to load a website that can be used offline but the images aren't showing up when I open the web page in Safari, but when using QuickLook everything loads up perfectly. Anyone know what the problem is. This also happens in Firefox where the images don't load, but works fine in Camino. I'd prefer to use Safari but if there is a possible fix that would be great. TIA.

**The problem has been resolved. Turning off Javascript worked."

Missing alt tag extension?

Hi
Is there a DWMX-2004 extension that will scan a site/folder
and advise of
any missing image alt tags?
Many thanks
Craig.

Sorry, thought that would do the job.
I meant any images with no alt tags setup?
ie. to ignore alt="" (empty)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

HomeSite 5.0 Spell Check and Alt tags

Hi folks.
I am in e-mail marketing and I love the tools in HomeSite.
Generally, prior to a launch I will perform a three-step check of a
document ...
1) Verify Links (checks images and hyperlinks)
2) Spell Check
3) Validate Current Document (HTML code check)
Until yesterday, I felt very comfortable with my pre-launch
routine. Until someone uncovered a typo in one of my e-mail
messages Alt="" tags.
It seems that the Spell Check function by default does not
check the content of an Alt="" tag.
WELL, WHY NOT!!!! It seems like a pretty big oversight to me.
If anyone knows how to get around this or force the
Spell Checker to treat Alt="" tags to be checked, please let me
know
Thanks.
Steve

Steve, HomeSite is a very flexible program and naturally
different people have different requirements. Where you would like
it to spell check tag attributes, most would not (since many tag
attributes would not be legit words).
So HS let's you control this. The default is NOT to spell
check tags within HTML attributes. To change it, use
Options>Settings>Spelling and turn off "ignore html markup"
in its "options" list.
You may ask, "well how the heck would I know that?" Here's
another useful tip: HS has help, and it's searchable. Yep, there's
an entire manual on using HS that many never notice. To get to it,
use Help>Open Help References Window, Then click the binocular
icon and do your search. Or you can get the PDF of the manual at
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/homesite/.
Hope that's helpful.
