Hello,
I have placed the correct php coding throughout my site on all photos to show an alt tag and everything works in the backend on upload but then when you go to the live site, none of the alt tags show up. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Here is a page where I have placed the
alt="<?php echo $upload['info1'] ?>
in the photo area.
Here is the page url:
http://www.charlotteparent.com/test/pregnancy/index.php
I have also attached the index page as well. Line 285
Thanks!
April

Hi April,
There isn't a problem with your code. The line that you mention (285) on that page outputs a picture called maternitypic.jpg. This does have information in it's alt tag. The rest of the picture that you output (about line 299 onwards) are not outputting info1 into the alt property. You'll just need to go through and add your code to these.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jason,
I did that and it still doesn't display any alt tags on the page with any of the photos. I placed the coding for all photos and I checked and all photos have text input in the backend on photo upload. Do you know of any other issue that may be causing this?

Hi April,
It appears that all of the images that are being pulled out of CMS Builder do have the proper alt tags. If you view the page source, you'll see there is information in the alt tag. The only places I'm seeing empty alt tags is were the images have been hardcoded in, such as newslettericon.png, twiiterbirdgraphic.png, longdivider.jpg, etc.
If you're looking for the property that will display text when you move your mouse over the image, try the title property of the img tag instead of alt.
Hope this helps.
