robbohelp html 8: webhelp

Hello,

How can I stop the name of the image from being displayed in internet explorer?

I don't want this to happen on every image in my help file

Thanks,

Stephen

I had the same issue.  With Pro, go to the accessibility tool and then click on alternate text.  You can navigate through all the images at once and change what is displayed.

It seems to be related to the alt image tag, which, as I understand it, should only appear if the image does not. Is there some way to turn this off by default and have only screen tip info appear, if entered? So, no pop-up unless I specifically enter text in the screen tip field of the image dialog.

Pasting images is usually bad news. Insert them instead (that ensures that RH officially endorses their place in the project). Seems silly, I know, but it is what it is.

Good luck,

Leon

How do I access the properties dialog?



Right click the image and select Image Properties.

Good luck,

I was curious about your issue; I wasn't able to duplicate it using WebHelp generated by RoboHelp HTML Version 8 using IE 8.0.7600.16385. My project contained an image with a blank screen tip and one with text in it. Both images produced the expected results (i.e. no tooltip and the specified tooltip, respectively). I would suggest checking the Screen tip option in the Image dialog box for each image where you experience this issue.

How are you inserting the images?

Knowing how they are inserted will help in sorting why the tooltip is appearing.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks for the interest.

The images are mostly pasted into the help.

And to clarify, it does not happen when I run the help locally, only when I run it through the app on another machine.

Thanks again.
