SEO Accessibility alt="" and longdesc=""

In an image gallery what is the best way to use alt= and
longdesc=?
I am still working at my gallery for an artist and we've
ended up with about 150 images. They'll be spread over several
gallery pages under different heading e.g. portraits, landscapes,
still life.
A long description might be "An oil painting by the artist
Andrew James showing a man on a bench." but the next one would be,
"An oil painting... ...showing a man reading a book." I could also
include size, media, date: "An oil on canvas painting, 10" by 8" in
size showing a man reading a book painted circa 2005."
Is there a rule of thumb for all that? If I keep repeating
text like, "An oil painting by the artist..." (which they all are
of course exept for occiaional drawings or oil on linen), will it
count as repeat content and be penalised in SEO terms?
Thanks for your interest.

Describe the image in the alt attribute. Ignore the longdesc
attribute
unless you really have a compelling reason to use it.
I would put the content that you mention into the alt
attribute (and perhaps
the title attribute too), but I would streamline it -
Oil Painting: Man on beach with lollypop (1024x768)
Watercolor: Woman with rabid raccoon (12' x 10')
etc.
The alt attributes' values are only displayed when the
visitor to the site
has images DISABLED in their local browser settings (they
would do this if
they are on a slow connection). IE is the only browser that
ignores this
and displays them anyhow. It is the title attribute that
rightly gives you
the mouseover information in all browsers.

  • CTRL, ALT and SHIFT keys are sticking (not physically)

    I am having a problem with the T-61p I have been using for 2 years now.
    About once every 2 days Windows thinks that either the CTRL, the ALT or the SHIFT key is held down.  I only notice this when my mouse's left click or my arrow keys starts behaving funny (like opening dialogs when clicking on icons or highlighting text on a page in MS Word) instead of moving the cursor as they should.
    When this starts happening, pressing the CTRL, ALT and SHIFT buttons causes the strange behavior to stop.
    None of the keys are physically stuck down.  I am using an external keyboard with my laptop closed and docked.  I have tried switching keyboards, and I get the same results with brand new Logitech keyboards.
    What could this be?  Has anyone seen this problem before?
    Your help is much appreciated.

    Welcome to the forum!
    It sounds like you've inadvertently turned on the Sticky Keys accessibility feature.  Since you didn't mention which operating system you're using, I can't tell you how to turn it off.  Trying searching for Sticky Keys in Help in the Start button menu.

  • Keyboard problem: alt and command swapped

    I am currently experiencing a problem with my Apple Pro Keyboard (Model circa 2000 taken from a PowerMac G4). It used to work fine, except now ALT and COMMAND seem to be swapped.
    COMMAND + Q instead of quitting, gives me this: œ
    Here is the whole qwerty: œ∑´®†¥¨^øπåß∂ƒ©˙∆˚¬Ω≈ç√∫~µ
    Useful if you want to type strange, but slowly frustrating, as frequent mac users will know keyboard shortcuts are deeply ingrained into reflexes and are hard to change.
    Has anyone else experience a problem like this?
    How can it be solved?
    I have already tried several things: reconnecting keyboard, restarting, checking updates. No significant harware or software change either, it just started randomly.
    I have also tried searching google with no luck, results are for different topics with the same search terms.
    SEO helper text:
    Problem with keyboard alt and command swapped.
    Strange keyboard bug alt command mapped incorrectly.
    Pro Keyboard alt command not working.
    Thanks in advance.

    *hangs head in shame*
    You'd never guess where I didn't look*: system preferences.
    Indeed the 'modier keys' were incorrectly mapped. So its now fixed.
    ...but I wonder what caused it to randomly switch?
    [* That'd be because I'm developing 16 hours a day for my dissertation, it does crazy things to your head.]

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Using Powershell Script Run simple query in MS Access 2007 and export the results of query to Excel

    Hi Experts,
    I have a Access 2007 DB file and 2 Big tables inside that (bigger than the size that can be easily handled by MS Excel 2007).
    My requirement is automate using powershell scripts the below things.
    1. Create a SQL query in Access DB and save that in access DB
    2. Run the saved query and export the result in excel sheet where I can create the charts and Pivots. Thanks in advance
    Prajesh

    Do you have to use the Access query, couldn't you just recreate the query in Powershell?  Here's a link with good info that references an existing script for querying an Access database:

    Once you have your dataset you can pipe it to
    Export-Csv -NoType c:\pathtofile\output.csv

  • Hetrogenous join: ms access local and oracle on server

    Hello
    I want to know if it is possible to join tables from a local client ms access db and an oracle db on a server. I have used the link feature in ms access and the hsodbc feature of oracle, but the ms access db is local and the oracle is not. Is there anyway that I can control the local access db from a link from the oracle db on the remote server?
    Thanx

    There is no such facility as of now to acces Oracle table from DB2 database or anything.
    You can spool the data into flat file for MS access table and import that data into
    Oracle table.

  • MS Access Freezes and Closes when I save a draft email via Outlook 2013

    I have Access 2013 Office 365.  When I email a report from access via Outlook 2013 I have problems.  Outlook opens fine. If I hit send everything is fine. However if I save the email as a draft Access freezes and then closes after a 10- 15 sec delay.
    The email is saved as a draft in Outlook but very annoying to have to reopen my Database .
    The message I get is : MS Access has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
    I tried compact and repair but that didn't help. Also tried turned of add ons. That didn't work.
    Never had this problem with office 2010.  What can I do?
    I just discovered the same thing  is happening in Excel and Word.

  • MS Access, SharePoint and Security

    Let's say I sign up for Office 365.
    I use the SharePoint Site that comes with it to house my MS Access Lists and my compiled database *.accmde file.
    Can I set up a separate sub-site with only admin access to house a list of userID's and passwords so that when the user runs the database, it looks up this list and identifies the user, type of user, and which filter for the data in the full access sites.
    If that works, then I would also want to put the data in a limited sub-site and have the accmde file retrieve that data behind the scenes. I would like to limit accidental access to the data if at all possible.
    Any suggestions on how to design the tool for this?
    Frank

    Hi FrankHayAlexcander
    It seems you have the following questions about hosting Access data on Office 365
    Can Access connect to multiple SharePoint sub-site?
    Can you store User info in one sub-site to control what data the user sees?
    Can you hide these sub-sites so that users can't accidentally see this data?
    The short answer is that I'm not sure that what you are trying to do is even possible in a Web database published to SharePoint, and certainly would be very difficult in a traditional database.
    If you create a Web database in Access 2010 and publish it to SharePoint, then it is limited to the tables / SharePoint Lists in that sub-site.
    In this case the credentials of the user are passed to SharePoint to retrieve data. This means that to read the list the user would have to have permissions and so they could go out the site directly and see the same data.
    Using SharePoint permissions you could control what the user can see, but Access isn't going to be able to add much to that.
    If you create a traditional database, then you can link to lists in multiple SharePoint site as well as other providers like SQL, and Excel.
    When you created the link table here you have the option to store the credentials with the linked table.
    If you do not store the credentials the user will be prompted for the credentials to use.
    You could store the credentials for an Admin user when you link the table, but the problem is that if a user opens your database in the full version of Access can get to the linked tables, they will be able to see all of the data anyway.
    When it comes to security, the best answer is always to secure the data using the native features of the data store such as SharePoint, SQL, etc.

  • MS Access 2010 and TFS problem when I try to "create form team foundaition"

    I am using MS Access 2010 and trying to use TFS for source control.
    I installed MSSCCI for 2010 and the "Access Developer Extensions"
    I am able to create a project in TFS and check in and check out access objects.
    My only problem is when I click on "Create from Team Foundation" it asks me to specify the server and when I click OK it gives me the following error message:
    "Cannot create a new Microsoft Access database from this source code control project. It contains neither a Data and Misc. objects file nor a database name file."
    I have tried different ways and could not get it to work.
    Thanks for your help

    Did you figure out a solution for this!>?
    I am having the same issue.  I can issue a GET and bring down all the objects (including the very files that it says it can't find) - then when "creating from team foundation" I get the same problem.

  • Access 2013 and SharePoint Foundation/Server 2010

    I have a real simple scenario that keeps happening.
    I simple click external data -> More -> SharePoint List from Access 2013 and point it to a SharePonint 2010 list ... then link the list.  It will link and show the data.  Once...  After closing the access file, it just freezes when opening
    it again.
    I've tried this on several windows clients (win7 and 8) and 2 different SharePoint 2010 installs (1 being Foundation, the other being Server).  Both are service packed.
    Any ideas?

    I believe i too am running into this issue.
    I have a CRM application i created in Access 2010 which links to lists on Sharepoint Foundation 2010 (As bundled with Small Business Server 2010) using SSL. I have this application running on various client machines, some on the local network and some via
    the internet. Until now we have been entirely Access 2010 and whenever a new client was required i just copied over the Access front end and it just worked.
    We have a new PC which has Win7 Pro 64bit and Office 2013 Pro. I copied over the front end but when i try and open one of the linked sharepoint lists Access just hangs with the spining circle. I have no problem accessing these lists on SP via Internet Explorer
    and furthermore if i select "Open with Access" and link a list it then opens within Access 2013 OK, (although Windows Security does prompt for the users password). However, if i save this database and re-open it i can no longer open the list!!
    I have noticed that if i run Access 2013 as administrator and open the front end application then there is no problem.
    Possible permissions issue???
    If i repeat what Eric describes, Access 2013 shows me all the lists on out SP site and successfully links it (i.e. It appears under Tables) however, unlike Eric the list won't open (not even once).

  • Time Capsule Access Control and Extended Network Question

    I have a Time Capsule where I have set up a wireless network access list…and extended the network using an Airport Express unit. The Airport Express unit also has settings for an Access Control list. Do these need to be the same as the those for the network from TC that it is extending…or does that happen automatically…and if not what on earth are they for?
    Thanks for any help…this doesn't seem clear from what I've read/seen.

    Unfortunately, they are not automatically applied to each base station in an extended network. You would have to manually enter the exact same list in each base station.
