Default Alt tag and Firefox - 02-27-2006 , 08:42 AM






How can I use the Alt tag to work with Firefox?

Everything I test & works in IE, does nothing in FF.

Thanks

Just use it properly. See

On the contrary, FF does the right thing with alt attributes.
IE doesn't, and neither does your document at present.

Simply stop playing with tooltips, and start creating pages for the
WWW, including text browsers, speech browsers, and search engines.

In addition to what Jukka said, there is no such thing as an ALT tag,
there is an alt attribute which is used as _Alternative_ content for the
img element when the actual content of that element is not available.
The alt attribute is not for tooltips.

You are looking for the Title attribute, which can be used on any element
except BASE, BASEFONT, HEAD, HTML, META, PARAM, SCRIPT and TITLE. The
title attribute creates a "tooltip".
