Alt text for dialog list not displaying on web

Hi, your help and advice would be most welcome.

I have a web form with a normal collection of fields etc. For accessability issues I have included alt text descriptions for each field. This works fine for all fields except the dialog lists one.

I have two editable multi value dialog list fields where I have included alt text in the “Other” section on the HTML Tab. Howver this alt text refuses to show on the web.

For testing purposes I have changed these fields to text fields and radio buttons and the alt text works fine.

Has anyone come across this issue before and does anyone know a work around or fix.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Regards

Charlie

Alt should only be used on images and other media. The property you are looking for is title – and you only get one per widget, so you get one tool tip for the select list, not one per option.

Sorry, my prevous post was incorrect as I have actually been using the “Title” HTML Tag within the HTML Tab in the field properties to enter my Alt Text.

This works for all my other fields with the Alt Text is shown on the web form, except when a field type is a Dialog List.

Does anyone know an answer.

Many thanks.
