Donation button IMAGE ALT="" code issue

Good Morning,

 

My donation code works, but alt doesn't appear too.  Meaning my seeing impaired friends won't have any idea the donation button is there, because they can't see graphics.  You need alt="Donation" so when they hover on it, they will know it is there.  But no matter where I put alt="Donation" in the code paypal provides it does not show up when I hover on the button.

 

Can't this be fixed?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Here is the code I used.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="myemail">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Classic 6Dragons">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" 
name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

showshoe,

 

Thanks for your help.  It does work now.  I didn't think it did at first, then finally it refreshed corrrectly.  I do think this is a paypal issue though in that blind people need to be able to use paypal too.   So paypal should provide the correct html code from the beginning so it is fully accessible.

Please note that your question is not a PayPal issue but, more of basic HTML coding guidelines.

 

For example, you may want to modify the line below:

 

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">

 So it looks something like this:

 

<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" title="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">

 Note the addition of "title".
