Hi,

Is there a way to include alternative text with images.

The alternative text is the text that is added to the IMG tag for those that
can't or do not want to see the images. ie: the seeing impaired that have a
text reader.

I have used product carts image upload utility. I do not remember the utility ever
really asking me or giving me the option.

Does anyone know about this?

Dave

Dave:
Alt text is built into the system.

Here is an example from my site:

<img id="mainimg" name="mainimg" src="catalog/HK416145UPK-3-250.jpg" alt="HK 416 14.5" Upper Kit">

The product name is included as the alt text.

If you really wanted the code could be customized to add your own special text. Probably excessive though.
