alt text on the loading.gif image

I am currently working on a project that requires the screens in Profound UI (rich display files for RPGLE) to be ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant. When I run the automated software (AInspector (addon for firefox)) to show me what elements in the HTML are in violation the loading.gif image is always in violation because it does not have alt text defined. Is there a way for me to define alt text for the loading.gif image for a given instance?

If no current assignment of the image is available for setting, will you consider allowing us to control the alt text on the image (and for all images created by Profound UI), perhaps in the same way that we can change the "runtimeMsg" value for the close browser text function (pui["runtimeMsg"]["en_US"]["close browser text"] = "Session ended, please close your browser)?

Thanks,
Ric Turner

There is not currently a configurable setting for the alt text, though you can change it from an animation to a div with text:

Since it was such a small change, I added a pui["loading animation"]["alt"] config option to the rendering code. You won't see it until profound 5.4.1.

I suspect you will encounter other images without alt text, though. We could make a feature request for anything else you find. And the more people that express interest, the higher the priority.
