mouse over text - accessibiltiy for the blind

Ken the alt= should go between the img tag and the editor tag.

<!--webbot CLIENTSIDE
bot="Ws4FpEx" MODULEID="'SB07 (Project)\Staff.xws'" PREVIEW="&lt;img src='images/Staff.gif?00CE3FDD' editor='Webstyle4' border='0'&gt;" startspan --><img src="images/Staff.gif?00CE3FDD" alt="Staff" editor="Webstyle4" border="0"><!--webbot
bot="Ws4FpEx" endspan i-checksum="34008" -->

If you are using FrontPage 2003 or newer (is there a newer version??) when you place your cursor in the code after the Src= "images/Staff.gif?00CE3FDD" tag the intellisense will pop up allowing you to select the alt tag and then type in the information.

If you are using FrontPage 2003 or newer (is there a newer version??).....

The "newer" version is now called "Expression Web"

Thanks Keith I thought may be the case.

Thanks Soquili & ss-kalm, you are wonderful people out there. I can now do alt text with Webstyle4 headers as well as with photos and other images.

FrontPage did finish with 2003. I have been debating whether to upgrade, I would like to do more with my site. You mentioned Expression Web. Do you know if it is much of an improvement on FrontPage? Do you use it? If not, is there anything you can recommend.

I am just about to set up my own small business (not web building) and I want to make the most of my website.

I am delighted by the way that I am now able to comply with the accessibilty regulations. Thanks again.

Ken I have used Expression Web. It is very similar to FrontPage with some added functions. From what I recall during my tests a few months ago, Expression Web creates cleaner HTML code than FrontPage. No webbot references or removing of some hand edited code, no reformatting of the code making it almost unreadable.

Currently there is no plug-in for Webstyle to integrate with Expression Web. It is still easy to include your Webstyle menus, banners, etc. in an Expression file.

Another program I use is Web Developer which is also a Microsoft product. The Express version is free and can be downloaded from the Microsoft website. Web Developer is geared more toward a software developer.

Expression Web creates cleaner HTML code than FrontPage.....

In my experience, pretty much anything creates cleaner code than FrontPage. However, I am still using Frontpage 2000 so maybe it's better in the newer versions.
