Additional image options

The More tab of the Image Inspector contains additional options that let you adjust border width, define alternative text for an image, and convert an image to a form button or link. (Alternative text is displayed in browsers that are configured not to display images; it is also used by voice-recognition software.)

To activate a box around the image and adjust its width:

1 Select the image, and select Border in the Basic tab of the Image Inspector.

2 Type in the desired border width in pixels, and press Enter.

If the border width attribute is on and set to 0, and if the image is the source of a link, a chain link symbol appears to indicate that this is a linked image with an invalid link.

To convert the image into a form button:

1 Select the image, and select Is Form in the More (Windows) or Spec. (Mac OS) tab of the Image Inspector.

2 Type in the name you want to be displayed with the form, and press Enter.

To assign a link to an image:

1 Select the image, and click the Link tab in the Image Inspector.

2 Click the New Link button, and then type in the URL to define the destination of the link; or use the Browse button to choose a location within your site. A border appears around the image (unless the border is on and set to 0) to indicate that it is the source of a link.

To enter alternative text for images:

1 Select the image or Smart Object on your Web page.

2 In the Alt Text text box of the Image Inspector or Smart Image Inspector, type the plain text you would like to display in place of the image.

Note: It is highly recommended that the Alt Text tag be provided for all images. It aids the visually-impaired and also enhances the performance of a Web page loading in a browser.
