Editing Image Attributes with the Image Panel Print

  • 0

Image Settings / Attributes

To configure your image attributes, as well as set links and titles, select the configuration icon on the image widget.

The following pop up window will appear for you to edit the image in question.

Use the Alt Tag field to provide an alternative description of your image. This will be displayed in browsers that can not display the image (e.g. a mobile phone browser) and is important for accessibility with speech reading devices. The title tag is used to name your image in search engines.

Underneath Size (W/H) you can make changes for the height and width of the image. If you lock this function you can change both height and width at the same time.

Additionally, you can drag your image to the right side of the Images panel widget for rollover or lightbox target, respectively. The rollover option allows you to make a mouseover image effect (when your mouse hovers or clicks the image) while the lightbox option will open the image in a new pop up window

Note: The image effects will not work within the site editor portion of BaseKit, it can only be viewed in Preview Mode, or once the site has been published.
