How do I add a Title Tag to a picture? I can get the Alt tag obviously by using the Tip box, can't find the Title box!

With the image I can add "custom code", add it in using "into tag" and I think it works ok. But with the label I can add it in using the same method "custom code" and "into tag" but it does not appear in the final code or appear in the "object code" box.

You could be right but! I am trying gain some ground on getting further up the rankings on Google organic listings. I have been told that I should add both alt and title tags to my images to give cross browser support and google a chance of reading the image. I would also like to add an alt and or title tag to the text based links (labels), this is the most important. Is this possible?

Ok I think I have confused things by using the term "alt" and "title" tag, it's not a tag it's an Attribute. I found this article which explains things quite well.
http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200412/the_alt_and_title_attributes/
I think I should be using the "title" attribute to follow the standards correctly for a "tool tip".
Can DHE 4.3 generate title attributes? |

The "Title" attribute was not W3C so I removed this feature from Dynamic HTML Editor.
Recently I re-checked the W3C site and it seems to be supported now so I'll implement this feature (I'll create the ALT and Title attributes using the Tip property)
So fill-in the Tip property and in the next revision the Title attribute will be created ;-)

Thanks Davide. Is there a work around I can use now? As I mentioned, I can not add custom code to images.

Davide,
is it possible to allow the <img> attributes to be entered as php code, such as:
<img src="<?=$picture?>" border="0" width="<?=$picture_width?>" height="<?=$picture_height?>" alt="<?=$picture_tip?>"
This snippet may be able to be added to an 'html block' as may other
similar snippets.

@ Davide,
Do I understand it right that you will combine the ALT and TITLE attributes in the tip field? ALT is mend as an alternative description for images not shown (or not seen), the TITLE is mend to use as description which IE shows as a tooltip. I often use an empty TITLE attribute to let IE NOT show the ALT text, but screenreaders and searchgengine bots stil will read it. I hope it is possible to make a seperate inputfield for both the ALT and the TITLE attribute. |

:-( I wanted to avoid this because I didn't have the space to add a new field in many Panels...
I'll check it |

I can see that adding the "alt" and "title" attributes to the image properties dialog maybe a squeeze but it would be nice to have both attributes available. I need to also add the "title" attribute to the label (text)properties. Will you be adding this? Any news of a work around apart from modifying the code outside of DHE?

Are you saying that it is already implemented in DHE4.3 or you have added it to the coming release? Simon

Hi Davide,
I am pretty desperate to get these title attributes added to the text links and images, any chance of an intermediate release?
Thanks Simon |

I cannot release the version 4.4 now because it is incomplete and I don't want to remake the changes I made to version 3.3 because it isn't a simple work.
I suggest you to edit the resulting html page manually. |
