ALT Tags and Image dimensions

[medsupply]

I am having an issue where the featured XML package code rendered at the browser level has empty alt tags for the product images, althought we have a value associated to the productSEalttext.

We also would like to add image dimensions (width and height) to the img tag. Even if it's hardcoded

How can we do that?

The package code is:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<package version="2.1" displayname="Featured Products" debug="false" includeentityhelper="false">

Your alt text XSLT parameter is not within scope/loop of the product data... it needs to be within

<xsl:for-each select="/root/FeaturedProducts/Product" >

Also don't forget to change the
<xslaram name="AltText">

to
<xsl:variable name="AltText">

as it will be within the loop context.

For the image sizing, you could just set the dimensions via CSS no? Or, you can use the cart's image resize and re-upload?

Jan,

I was able to get the alt tag to work. The image dimensions should be within the img tag. When I run PageSpeed to improve the speed of the website, it tells me that the dimensions are missing, so it's looking for the width and height values.

Thanks!
