A better way to image tags

Category: Python(Script)

return '<img src="%s" width="%s" height="%s" alt="%s" />' % (
          context.absolute_url(), context.width, context.height, context.title)

it can be even easier by sbrauer - 2004-10-14 By default when a Zope Image object is represented as a string it formats itself as a nice img tag (complete with width, height, and alt attributes). So for example in a page template (assuming you have a folder named "pics" with an image named "some_image"), something like this: <span tal:replace="structure here/pics/some_image">an image</span> would output something like this: <img src="http://localhost.localdomain:8080/test/pics/some_image" alt="Image Title" title="Image Title" height="384" width="512" border="0" /> In DTML, this would give the same result: <dtml-var expr="pics.some_image">

Re: it can be even easier by jccooper - 2004-10-14 Agreed. This technique is useful when you want an image to do something that the object-generated tag won't do, like wrap itself in a table or have other attributes.   Re: Re: it can be even easier by Nummer5 - 2004-10-14 For things the image doesn't do by default, the tag method can be called explicitely. There is even a default behaviour for title and alt attributes; if the image has an alt property, it is used. By the way, the alt attribute is for textmode browsing (and for unavailable images), and the title attribute is for tooltips. I'd suggest not to confuse them.
