The quick and easy way to add alt and title attributes to your HTML tags The perfect solution for restoring image tooltips!
Alt&Title is currenty incompatible with certain installations of Windows 7. Fly Software is working to fix this and will be releasing an update shortly.
As a web developer you already know img and area tags should contain alt and title attributes. Not only do they add visual cues and improve accessibility, they also help your web pages adhere to standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Examples of alt and title attributes in use
Despite their importance, have you (like many other developers) created web pages that contain img tags and area tags that do not contain an alt attribute or more likely a title attribute?
The problem of missing Title attributes has become conspicuous with the release of Internet Explorer 8 and the increased popularity of Firefox. Unlike earlier versions of Internet Explorer, these browsers do not use the alt attribute to display a tooltip for images and areas. Instead, the title attribute is used for this important visual cue.
If your website portfolio amounts to hundreds or thousands of pages, locating and adding missing alt attributes and title attributes to img tags and area tags would be a very time consuming and costly process.
To help you quickly and easily resolve this problem, Fly Software has developed a Windows application called Alt&Title.
Locating and Reporting Missing Attributes
Alt&Title scans your web pages and reports which img tags and area tags have missing alt attributes and title attributes.
Adding Attributes
Alt&Title automatically adds a title attribute to an img tag or an area tag if an alt attribute is already present, and vice versa.
For example, if an img tag already contained alt=”Buy Now!”, Alt&Title would automatically add title=”Buy Now!” to the same tag. Similarly, if title="Download Now!" was present, alt="Download Now!" would be added.
Adding missing alt attributes and title attributes to img tags and area tags is automatic, and can be performed on one or any number of web pages in seconds. All alt attribute and title attribute additions are reported, so you know exactly which web pages and HTML tags have been updated, and what attribute content has been applied.
By using Alt&Title, you no longer need to painstakingly open your web pages then locate and add missing alt attributes and title attributes. Now you can simply select the problematic web pages, click a button and let Alt&Title do the job for you!
