I have seen some other reports of this, but none that address the more recent version(s) of Views Nivo Slider. The module seems to be ignoring both the alt and title fields; the attributes are generated in the HTML code, but the values are empty. I need to get this working properly, for both Section 508 and WCAG compliance. I can live without the title attribute, but the alternative text is critical. Any clues would be appreciated!

I can also confirm this issue still exists. Only empty alt tags for us.

Here we go. Patch attached.

Patch is for 7.x-3.x.
The patch for 7.x-2.x can be found here #2065103: Alt tags not used and should also be RTBC'd.

Is there any active maintainer for this module?
