Pulling item name into variable/field?

Is there a way to pull the name of an item (for example, a button) into either a variable or into an actual text field? I'm not talking about the HTML Name of the object - I'm talking about the name of the item that is shown on the left in the Title Explorer.

undefined

Thanks!

You can use Lectoras Token Replacement, by adding two actions to the object:

On: Page show

Action: Modify variable

Target: myAltTag

Type: Set as empty

On: Page show

Action: Run javascript

Javascript:

VarmyAltTag.set(%HTMLNAME%.altName);

Mind you have to publish. Preview is always without alt tags.

What about a way to pull the ALT tag into a variable?

I think, the only place where this name can be get from after publication is the ALT tag. If you publish with "Create ALT tags for images and buttons" unchecked, I don't think there's a way to retrieve it dynamically. If you have ALT tags it's easy, but probably only available for images or buttons, i.e. objects with alternative text.

Tim - that is awesome! Thank you so much!
