alt text for imates in photogallery

[Charles W Davis]

I have been attempting to add code in the FP 2003's photo
gallery.

I have made these changes in the html: <td valign="top"
align="center" height="120">
<a
href="../../images/Ulmer_Captain_Tonya_&_Captain_Scott.jpg
">
<img border="0" vspace="5" hspace="12"
src="Ulmer_Captain_Tonya_&_Captain_Scott.jpg" width="95"
height="100" alt="Image of the Captains Ulmer"
title="" /></a>

I located the above file in a photogallery folder called
real.htm. I have placed the alt="Alternate text here"
with no results. There is a second file called real_p.htm
that contains similar code where I have also placed a
similar alternate text with no results. I assume that one
file contains the thumbnail and the other the larger
image. A third file called real_x.htm contains no image
references.

Scroll down to Images and Honorees. The image of Captain
Tonya and Captain Scott has the alt text code.

I'm baffled.

In real.htm you will see the title attribute - it's empty (title="") - try
adding your text between the quotes.

Kathleen, you were right on. Thanks. No thanks to the nut
that decided alt should be title.

The alt text should really only display if "show pictures" is turned off in
your browser.
