Does anyone know how to add alt text to an html window? Most of the images on my website are via html window.

Thanks,

Do you mean an "Iframe"?:)

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Well, I'm not sure what an "Iframe" is actually. Within VSD, on the toolbar which runs down the left hand side of the screen, there is a tool called "add html" (5th icon down). Most of the photos on my site (gitaneworkshop.com) are created using this method due to the mouseover effect which I am using. By the way . . . the copyright symbol which you helped me with is working nicely. Thanks for your help with that!

Alternate text for an Image looks like this.

<IMG SRC="myimage.jpg" ALT="This is the alternate text">

Scott, What you are doing has nothing to do with Iframes. To me it looks like the images on your site are inserted just as images (but afterwards linked to a different page), and you can add alt text to them. When you have inserted an image, click the Object button, and at the bottom of the appearing dialogue box you can add the alternate text. It is not possible in VSD to do the same with an html object.

I mean, that if you have inserted a html object and click the Object button, then the field for Alt. text is greyed out.

Ok, Sorry That just didn't come to my mind when I read your post. I think my brain is a scrambled egg from staring at the screen.
