I know how to put HTML Alt Tags on images, and how to use the Screen Tip feature on HyperLinks. But, I cannot get the Alt Tag to work on a custom Hover Button. I tried the Alt Tag on both images of the Hover Button, but it will not work. I am required to use the Alt Tags on everything in order to be in compliance with the new Disabled Accessability Act #508. Can anyone please help?

Thanks

You may need to hand code it in. Just click on the HTML tab and then look for the links. I had to do that for an image map. What I did was find an alt tag already on the page, and then I pasted in for each of the links and just changed the context.

Linda,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I had already tried hand coding the AltTag into the hover button with no luck. Perhaps I am not placing the tag in the correct location. Below is the code I am using for the AltTag, and the Hover Button code. If you or anyone else has any more input, I would be extremely greatful. My deadline is fast approaching, and I would rather not have to change my entire menu.

Thanks

Mark
