Alt tags

[EdHarrison]

With the new icons for home / cart etc on the top bar they give SEO warnings for no alt tags - can these have alt tags added?

[Goz]

You can add them manually yourself.

Go to Design > Library > Layouts

Expand the Navigation Bars layout type

Double click on Shopping Links

Find

<img src="homepage-icon.png" />

and change it to

<img src="homepage-icon.png" alt="Harrison Telescopes Home Page" title="Harrison Telescopes Home Page"/>

Do that for the other images that you want alt and title tags for and save the layout.

These tags should be in there already.... perhaps SellerDeck would like to add that to 16.0.2 as it's not ready for release yet....

Brilliant thank you, worked a treat

Found another - how odd - the recent products xit to close has no alt tag and shows a warning, this code looks more difficult to add the alt to?

<p><a href="javascripteleteRecent('_PID_');"><img src="xit.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>

How on earth that showed as a grin tut:

<p><a href="javascript:DeleteRecent('_PID_');"><img src="xit.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>

EDIT - same principal worked

You just need to find the right layout..... talking of which, which layout was it?

[EdHarrison]

It was in the recent products layout (regular one) that contains the X jpg for closing the product.

Just search xit and here is how I did it (hopefully correctly)

<p><a href="javascript:DeleteRecent('_PID_');"><img src="xit.jpg" alt="Close This Product" title="Close This Product"border="0" /></a></p>
