CuteEditor for .NET

Long Description Names


Alternative text should be short and simple, but sometimes you may need to provide more explanation for content than is suitable for ALT text. In these cases, you can use the Long Description (longdesc) Attribute for the IMG element. The longdesc attribute points to the URL of a separate description file that contains information conveyed by the image.

Here is an example:

<img src="images/cindy_crawford.jpg" alt="image of a beautiful woman" longdesc="http://somesite.com/somepage.htm" />

Note that the LONGDESC attribute points the user to a specific page somepage.htm that includes the following simple contents:

<p>IMAGE DESCRIPTION</p>

<p>Image of a beautiful woman - This image is a photograph of Cindy Crawford.</p>

In CuteEditor, when the Images option is selected, users are asked to provide a long description for each image in the dialog box shown in below.
