HOW TO: Generate messages with the alt text of every "img" element

[Albert Wiersch]

Did you know? CSS HTML Validator is very configurable.

For example, if you want a new validator message containing the alt text used for every "img" tag then you can put the below function in a file (for example, myuserfunctions.cfg, but you can name the file whatever you want).

Code: Select all

function onStartTag_img() {
 if hasAtt('alt') {
  $altindex=getAttIndex('alt');
  Message(1, MSG_MESSAGE, 'This <img> has alt text: "' + getAttValueEx($altindex,12) + '"', getAttValueLocation($altindex));
}}

Save the file, and specify the file in the 'Config File' page of the Validator Engine Options (as a user functions file).



Your new message will then be generated once the configuration is reloaded.

Please note that using user functions requires the Pro or Enterprise edition.
