In Canada, we have a new law that you must have ALT tags for images but when my page loads, the fotorama plug-in seems to remove them from the code. Is there a workaround or something that I can do?
I have been in a same situation like you are now.
Fotorama seems to discard and totally remove alt and title tags as not necessary in its purposes.
You need to raise a bug in its bug tracking system so that in its future releases it may include this tag particularly and all the other HTML standard tags that blindfully it discards.
