alt text for image showing

[letsgofishing]

Some help if possible please.
I've got a portfolio page with images that have image captions (alt text) so that search engines "see" them.
They are pop up images. However, I don't want the caption to show after you've clicked on the image.
In the pop up photo options panel, i have NOT checked the "show image title" box, but they still show on all the images when they pop up.
I've attached a screen shot.

Secondly, still with pop up photos, I check "dim page while op up is open".
Is there any code that can be inserted to make the screen (background) black - or white?

Many thanks,
Mike

Yep, you're right. Must be a new "feature". I'll report it.

I don't think you can change the color but Acorn might have a better answer.

Thanks Gary.
Using WD10P by the way....

This has probably gone back many versions. Often if a bug goes back far enough, the development people assume that is the way it is supposed to work. (Just kidding)

High LGF, the code for the pop-up attributes are set in the highslide.css which is published with the site. So you'd need to amend this css. For example the backgound colour is determined by the code:

.highslide-dimming {
position: absolute;
background: black;
}

So you can easily change the background by:

.highslide-dimming {
position: absolute;
background: red;
}

This is in lines 55 to 58 of highslide.css. However every time you republish it will default to the original, so you'll need to keep a copy of your amended highslide.css and ftp this to overwrite it.

Perhaps Siran or Acorn can come up with a better method.

You could also bypass Xara's Pop-up's & create the Pop-ups using http://highslide.com/editor/

This is the bare-bones of what I think you're asking.

Put this code in the Page Head in the HTML code (head):

<script>
hs.dimmingOpacity = 0.9;
</script>

<style>
.highslide-dimming {
background: red;
}
</style>

For pure black, change to (1.0, black).
For pure white, change to (1.0, white).
For a see-through yellow, (0.75, yellow).

Enjoy,

Here's a far easier solution. Forget all my posts above!

Place this into the Website or Page Head Placeholder.

Change the colour to suit & alter the hs.dimmingOpacity between 0 & 1. 1 has no transparency.

<script type="text/javascript">
hs.dimmingOpacity = .5;
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.highslide-dimming {
background: red;
}
</style>
