As a web developer you already know that certain HTML tags should contain alt and title attributes. Not only do they add visiual cues and improve accessibility, they also help your Web pages adhere to standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Despite their importance, have you created Web pages that contain HTML tags without 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. These browsers do not use the alt attribute to display a tooltip for an associated Web page element, but instead use the title attribute.
If your portfolio amounts to hundreds or thousands of Web pages, locating and adding missing alt and title attributes 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.
Alt&Title scans your Web pages and reports which supported HTML tags have missing alt and title attributes. It also adds a title attribute to supported HTML tags if an alt attribute is already present, and vice versa. For example, if a supported HTML tag already contained alt=”Buy Now!”, Alt&Title would automatically add title=”Buy Now!” to the same tag.
Adding missing alt and title attributes to supported HTML tags is automatic, and can be performed on one or any number of Web pages in seconds. All alt and title additions are reported, so you know exactly which Web pages and HTML tags have been updated, and what attribute content has been applied.
Supported HTML tags include img, input, area.
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!
