Walt, i’m missing something or this action needs an update? When I apply the action to a graphic object and preview all I see is the alt text and never the graphic.

What version of Freeway are you using it on, and have you downloaded
the latest version from ActionsForge?

FWP 5.5.2, ver 0.3
One thing it might be although it seems wrong, the graphic image is not an html background but a CSS layer on it’s own.

I just tried it, and I agree, it doesn’t seem to work on a stand-alone
layer image. Try making that image an inline rather than a layer. It
definitely works that way. I’ll try to take a look at it soon, not
sure when I can fix it.

Give 0.4 a try. I haven’t tested it in 5.5, but it should work. It
appears to work correctly for inline images, layered images, and table-
positioned images.

Thanks Walt. That seems to have the opposite effect. No alt text but image is displayed. Turning off images reveals no alt text at all.

Hmmm… turning on accessibility under style sheet button does work. I guess turning off images turns of alt text attached to it.

It shouldn’t do that. The way that the Actions works is it takes the
alt text of the image and turns it into the text content of whatever
Hn tag you gave it. So this image
<img src="foo" alt="bar" />
would become this H1 tag:
<h1 id="foo">bar</h1>
And then CSS takes over, matching up the ID of the image (which really
isn’t the filename, this is just an abbreviated example) with the
correct image, patched in as that H1’s background. Since a browser by
default won’t print backgrounds, it should just show the content of
the tag.

The text should replace the fancy images when you PRINT but not
when images are off. When images are off, the images and the text
will be hidden. Since this is the least-likely case, and since a text-
only browser like Lynx or a screen reader like JAWS will ignore the
CSS and only bother with the text anyway, you should be good for all
except the very oddest of possible combos.

The thought of printing was never entertained as a need. Only interested in the SEO aspects of alt text on an image so the action works fine for that purpose. I would normally use a phark but I thought i’d try a short cut.

Yeah. The alt text is moved into the H tag, so it doesn’t exist as alt
text any more – it’s been promoted to a much juicier tag, SEO-wise.
