Thanks, Massimo.
Here's the deal: I'm making a photo gallery for my brother.
He has
hundreds, nay thousands, of images taken all over the world
(as a
professional wildlife photographer). He gives me the images
with names as I
indicated earlier (words and keywords separated by hyphens).
I am using an app that can display the alt attribute's value
as a photo
caption. This would be why I am asking these goofy questions
- to
automatically transfer the filename to the alt attribute, and
to strip out
the hyphens. But I think a stake has been driven through this
one's heart
by the comment that dynamically written content like that is
not 'on the
page'. So - I'm back to the drawing board.
What's that you say? Why don't I use a database? That would,
of course, be
the obvious solution. But his data is not in a form that
lends itself to
that approach at this moment! 8(
