Kendo ToolBar items attributes not working

[wizmagister]

Hi,

I was looking through the documentation to add alt/title text to the buttons inside a toolbar and saw the Attributes configurations.
I went on the "Edit this example" page and saw that even the example wasn't working...

Is there something extra that must be done for this to be working properly?

Thanks

I've found out that if I switch to the most recent framework version in the drop down, the issue is fixed (2014 Q2 SP1 & SP2).

When the example is opened, it is the Q2 no SP and the attributes isn't being applied.

Hi Marc-Andre,

I may confirm that - the attributes support was implemented after the Q2 official release.

Is there an appropriate way to apply alt text to an image inside a button? Currently if I try to use the attributes.alt property, it will put the alt attribute on the parent div instead of the <img> element. Kendo generates alt text for the image of "icon" which isn't meaningful for our accessibility users.

Hello Zachary,

Currently this is not possible. One option is to include the image button via template item which will give you the ability to fully customize the HTML. Another option is to modify the alt attribute with jQuery after Toolbar initialization.
