Web page not operating properly with FIrefox

I have created a web page with engineering documentaton. See sample page here:
http://users.ociw.edu/ekoch/4star/FS-04-001-ASSY.html
When I move the mouse over the items on the page, labels appear for each item.
Clicking will present the viewer with infomaton regarding that item.

Now here is my problem: The labels appear only if I use IE but will not appear
if the page is viewed with FireFox or with an Apple computer.

Question: What do I need to do in order to see the labels with FireFox or in
an Apple?

Thanks,
Erich

Actually the page IS operating properly in FF. Most would argue that IE is not
operating properly, because it is displaying alt text when the images are being
rendered. Displaying a mouse over for alt text is something that IE choose to
do as a non standard behavior.

Search the web for 'tool tips' to see how to do this with dhtml. In
particular, take a look at box over.

Thanks a lot, I will look up the information.
Is there something that I can to do within Dreamweaver?
I am a beginner with Dreamweaver, and not really familiar with html or dhtml.
A lot of the users viewing these webpages are actually using Apple computers,
so it would be nice if this "non standard" behaviour of displaying "alt-text"
was controllable within Dreamweaver.

Thanks again,
Erich

Until you change this, your experience with DW will be a punishing one.

so it would be nice if this "non standard" behaviour of displaying
"alt-text"
was controllable within Dreamweaver.

As pointed out, this is a browser problem, not a DW problem. You would have
to manually add the title attribute to each image tag which you can do as
follows -

1. Select the image in Design view
2. Open the Tag inspector window with WINDOW | Tag Inspector
3. Find the 'title' attribute under "CSS/Accessability" and enter your
desired content.

THANK YOU.
That solved the problem for FireFox browser. Now I need to go and see if it
also solves it for the Apple browser, whatever that browser is...

Thanks a lot, very nice detailed instructions.

Safari.

FYI, you're going about this in reverse. Usually, you want to design your
page so it works in Firefox, which (usually) will mean it will work fine in
most any standards compliant browser including Safari, Chrome, Opera, etc.

THEN go and make fixes to accommodate the bugs in Internet Explorer.

That's usually a saner way to approach things.

Thanks you all for the information.
This is my first try at Web Design.
