Hi!

I have a tooltip problem in my RoboHelp projects. When hovering the image both in source and output the image source name is seen as a tooltip. Please, support! How can I remove them?

Thanks!

Can you please give us some more detail. The version of RoboHelp you are using and the output you are producing would be a start. Is it just one image that has the problem? If so, check the image properties (see below). Is there a tooltip already there?

Hi again!

I am working with RoboHelp 9.0.1.262. And the problem concerns all the images.  As an output I am converting the WEB HELP folder from the source into .rar. Later I run the index.htm file. I checked the image properties, and there is no tooltip there...

Thank you!

Yes, it appears while hovering the image in the source too


Hi,

When you do not specify a tooltip, RoboHelp adds the name of the image as the alt attribute on generation. The alt attribute is the alternative text that is used by screen readers and other devices. The alt attribute is required so you need it for valid HTML and you also need it for accessability.

If you see the alt text while hovering the image, you must be using Internet Explorer. IE incorrectly shows the alternative text as tool tip.

Greet,

Willam
