Hi all,

how can I define the same functionnality than the <b>ALT</b> Tag in my extension ?

I tried it, but DW doesn't seem to recognize it...

In which interface did you try it? Massimo his snippets panel uses ALT texts when I am correct.

Well, suppose I define a form that contains image (icon), and I would like to have an ALT functionnality.

You would (in HTML) do that with the following tag :
&lt;input type="image" src="...." <b>alt="Opens a new document"</b>&gt;

And it seems that it doesn't work in DW

This question applies for every type of extension, floaters, command, objects....

I notice in DMXzone extensions when UI elements gain focus they swap text/layer in a box at the bottom - this sounds like a good option. I'd also like some ALT tag info for my extension I'm making. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sleepy.gif border=0 align=middle>

Have you tried just a regular image with 'onClick' functionality instead of image submit buttons? Alt tags work flawlessly on images. ListComboBox's + - show ALT attributes. Try an image with javascript to run what you need that image button to run. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
