RE: [Dynapi-Help] alt tag of DynImage?

[Nuno F. <nun...@wi...>]

Slick code Richard :)

Anyway, remember guys that if you've got a shitload of graphics to
download (even if each one of them is small), and the DynAPI is
still loading, it's nice to let the user see something while stuff
is being built on the background.

I know, I know, that's what splash screen are there for, but it can
be useful if for whatever reason you don't want to use a Splash
screen...

best,

NunoF

Hi,
I agree the percentage of people browsing dhtml with pictures turned off
will be minimal, but if we disregard them,
we might as well disregard NS6 (0.025%) & Opera(0.050%) (source:
http://www.thecounter.com ) And of course
you can have those irritating little labels pop up to tell you which picture
you're looking at.

But it's quite simple to add the function to your version of dynimage.js:
Close to line 45 there is a set html, this you change to:

this.setHTML('<img alt="'+this.alt+'"name="'+this.id+'Image"
src="'+imgObject.src+'" width='+this.w+' height='+this.h+' border=0>')

then you add the setAlt function at the end  of the file:

DynImage.prototype.setAlt = function (myAlt) {
 this.alt=myAlt
}

Now you can set the alt value like this:

 myImg = new DynImage();
 myImg.moveTo(50,150);
 myImg.setSize(160,160);
 myImg.setImageSrc('../js/lib/dynapi/images/common/arrowright.gif');
 myImg.setAlt('If you were at home you would see a picture here.')
 DynAPI.document.addChild(myImg);

Cheers,
Richard :o
