A possible addition to the wpg generator ?

[Lyn and Malcolm]

Thanks George

Happy with that. 

Have you had a chance to look at that other link concerning frames. ?

Malcolm

Yes, briefly, Malcolm.
As you know, the WPG uses frames 
I'll study it in more detail when I get my current job finished.

I have updated our Phlox page on our website today with the alt feature on all 31 pictures on the page.

http://www.lynandmalc.co.uk/phlox.htm

I have no idea if the alt feature works on browsers like firefox etc  I hope it does.

If anyone has a different browser please try it.

Ive looked at your page in both IE6 and Firefox/3.0.5
IE6
Mouse over shows the name of the plant as tool tip text.

Firefox/3.0.5
Name doesn't show as in IE6
However if I right click and view properties, it says
e.g. Alternate Text: Phlox paniculata Harlequin
Which I have to add is an interesting plant!
Oddly, some images don't show in Mozilla Firefox.
The entire columns 4 doesn't show.
Row 2, Image in columns 2 and 3 are missing
Similarly for rows 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14
Ive clicked Reload twice.
Now heres the odd bit. If an image is not shown, I would expect Alt-text to show in its place.
It doesn't. Those positions are blank
Right clicking n the "missing images" give me things like View source, but no alt text (i.e. looks like page properties rather than image properties)
Now (like you) I'd like to hear from others with Firefox.

[Lyn and Malcolm]

Hmm

Could you try this page which has 3 columns of pictures please George.

I see visitors to our website

1% use Firefox 2
8% use Firefox 3

All present and correct Malcolm
8 rows of 3

Same effect with the Alt as described for the page with 4 columns

[Lyn and Malcolm]

Have now put the Phlox into 3 columns, should now display the pictures ok, but have no answer for the alt yet.

Photos are exactly the same in both browsers now Malcolm.
It could be that my Firefox browser is out of date. It tells me there is a newer version.

[Lyn and Malcolm]

The reason for not displaying the alt in Firefox is put down to incorrect use of the alt.

If the "alt" is replaced by "title" or uses both attributes then the text will be displayed ok in firefox.
Will put some more code in that Phlox page later for you to try please.

No problem Malcolm. I'll test when you are ready.

Ive had a look at me web sites in Firefox.
I'm absolutely horrified at how it fails to handle my text definitions. What a mess

I have fixed one instance to prove to myself what was wrong.
It will take days to fix them all up!

I think it was Isabell (on this forum) who referred to Computers as "Confusers".
How much more can a person take of this?
It is obvious that there is no such thing as "standards" in the world of computers

George
I have recoded the top row only of the phloxes page here http://www.lynandmalc.co.uk/phlox.htm
See if that works in firefox please.

So you have some more work to do on your web pages to make the text definitions work, could do without that.
And I am sure that our site in Firefox won't look right either.

You are a genius Malcolm.
All three in first row are working.
Good work!
