Hi all,

I’m using Foundry for a new site…and am struggling on how to add an alt tag to a background or banner image. The stack in question is Motion in the Foundry pack.

I know in the various image stacks most have an option to add an alt tag but if I have a banner or background image and the stack doesn’t have an option to add an alt tag how do I go about it please.

As always, advise and thoughts more than welcome.

Cheers Scott

Background images can’t have an alt tag

Hi Scott,  
Ok thanks for quick response.

Do you know why that is??

I wonder if there is a 3rd party app that can add alt tags to any image?

Cheers Scott

It’s not the stack. Background images themselves can’t have an alt tag. They are not supposed to be informational.
