Alternate Text

[Spunky]

<img src="index.htm_files/0.png" border="0" alt="" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 901px; height: 552px; position: absolute;"/>

See the 'alt=""'? Is there any way to change that directly inside Xara? I know I can manually change it through the coding myself no problem but it is replaced everytime the site is exported so I was wondering if I could change it within the website. Thanks!

EDIT: Also can you stop it from saying page number?:

<title>Angela Marino, Realtor, Plainfield and Romeoville, Homes For Sale Page 1</title>

Again, can manually do it but I'd rather not. But will if must.

In Xara's help files:

Image Tags
You can easily add HTML "Alt" and "Title" tags to images. Alt tags are displayed on images where the image cannot be displayed, for example on text-only browsers, or for assistive technology such as web page readers for the blind. The "Title" tag is displayed when you mouse (hover) over an image in your browser, a bit like a Windows tooltip.

To add such a tag, using the Naming system and give the image, or group (remember groups are converted to images on export) a name in the format Alt="string" or Title="string". So for example adding a name:

Title="Copyright John Smith"

will add this tag to the image which will be displayed as a pop-up when you mouse-over the image in your browser.

To add a name to any object just click the Name objects icon on the Selector Tool InfoBar.

The "Title" tag is also used by Internet search engines to help identify images when performing image searches.

The "Title" tag can also be added to URL links the same way. Just add a name to the linked text in the form Title="string" and when you mouse over the link the browser will display a tooltip with the "string". This is a great way to show more information on short links.

Just for the sake of clarity and to stress a point, the Xara Help file is incorrectly using the word 'TAG' for Alt and Title.
These are 'Attributes' applied to the <IMG 'tag' - not tags themselves.

Ok, thanks a lot for the answers. However, now I am getting this:

<img src="index.htm_files/0.png" border="0" alt="" title="'HeaderBanner'"...

Where the title is filled in but not the alt. Title is alright to have it show up when your mouse hovers over it, but, I think having alternate text would be more important for those that have images turned off, is it possible to do both? Or just one or the other?

[steve.ledger]

is it possible to do both?

Yes.
Create the object name alt=bluebox
Close (the name box)
Then create the object name title=bluebox

In other words, twice name the same object, but use alt once and then use title once

No single or double quotes necessary, Xara will insert these.

Ok cool thanks a lot! I didn't think an object could be named twice..awesome.
