Popup text when hovering mouse over image

[Anonymous]

Hi,

This is kind of a trivial thing, but here's the problem. When I hover my mouse over the current image, the title for the previous image is displayed as alt text. I want to have the Title of the current image displayed instead. Is there a simple way to do this?

Thanks,
Steve

You can just modify the image_template.html for the template you are using and change the alt tag there.

Thank you! I'm new to this and that worked brilliantly!

Can you post what code in the template you need to change?

It depends on the template you are using, the following is for PP light, but should give you the idea;

Look for the image html in your template, something like;

<a href="index.php?showimage=<IMAGE_PREVIOUS_ID>">
<img id="image" src="images/<IMAGE_NAME>" alt="<IMAGE_TITLE>" title="<IMAGE_PREVIOUS_TITLE>" width="<IMAGE_WIDTH>" height="<IMAGE_HEIGHT>" /></a>

Now change <IMAGE_PREVIOUS_TITLE> to <IMAGE_TITLE>.

Done :D
