Displaying titles and descriptions

Permalink Browser Info Environment
So I know you can have either the title or description pulled in for the caption (both of which actually get assigned to the title=" " attribute of the sliding images). Is there any way to display both a title and a description, with the title being pulled from the title attribute description being pulled from the alt tag.

For example, if the image tag looked like:

<img src="xxx" title="My Sample Title" alt="Some people are doing something is this photo description" />

the caption would show:

<div class="nivo-caption"><span>My Sample Title</span><p>Some people are doing something is this photo description</p></div>

The code would need to be modified at the javascript in the block, so I've attached the non-minified version of the nivo js, with the code of interest tagged with a 'class="target" '. Perhaps somebody is a bit handier with js than me.

I would love to see features like this. It would really round out the Add On.

I talked about things similar to this in the Support Tracker for Nivo:

Currently polling some folks over at Dev7, looks to a change that needs to happen in the core js. Will keep you posted.

Hi,

I will update the addon in january with new features. That's possible to include the description option too.

Keep tuned!
