Alt text

[Guest]

I have basicly two questions.
1, I know how to get Alt text on an image in a page but what I want to know
is this:
Is there a way to do it so everytime that image is used in a web the same
alt text will appear without having to enter it each time.
2, Is there a way to apply Alt text in a theme, i.e. so all bullets will
have the alt.text "bullet"
Thanks bunches!!

Insert the image on a page, apply the ALT text, then copy the image to all other pages or use the FP
Include Page component.

For SEO purposes this is not a good idea. However you could put the graphic
into an include (which is best going into cell or table to contain it) Just
place the include where ever you want the graphic to appear, if the graphic
is already in place you could do a find and replace swopping out the codes of
the graphic for the code of the include.

2, Is there a way to apply Alt text in a theme, i.e. so all bullets will

If I did know how I'd strongly discourage you NOT to do that. Why? When a
screen reader visits your page all they are going to hear is bullet bullet
bullet bullet etc etc etc. When it comes to such graphics as bullets the
correct thing to do is to use "" for the ALT. In FrontPage 2003 all you have
to do is tick the Text box and the code alt="" is automatically in the HTML.

For the graphic you want to use above that appears in many places this is
also the correct thing to do .. both for screen readers and for SEO (search
engine optimisation) purposes. Why? Think about it your sp*amming the SE's
(search engines) with a peice of text which is detrimental to your overal
site SEO - it's a small part but everything plays a part. When such graphics
are repeated throughout a web the screen reader does not want to hear the
repeated phrase on each page or most pages the "" lets the screen reader know
it's safe to ignore the graphic. One more tip always put a full stop at the
end of your alt text this helps the screen reader move to the next graphic
easily.

When it comes to themes in previous versions I don't think that you could
add alt text to bullets, I don't use themes so I'm not sure if this can be
done in FP03 or not. I suspect it can, and also it could be done with CSS.

Copy and paste the alt text it into each <img src> tag. So you will need to do
it every time, for every image Copy and pasting will speed up the process.
