Many browser games need this feature, I often play Open Merchant Empires (e.g.
universerpg.homeip.net). In this game the alt parameter of the image tag
describes what you see and is needed.
Peculiar is this: In the galaxy view it works, maybe it only works, because
there the alt tag is multilined?
IT shows "||" instead of the CR/LF of course. Maybe multi line hints could be
added, too?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hold the mouse pointer over an image

Actual Results:  
Nothing, no hint or anything

Expected Results:  
A hint with the text from the alt parameter.
This is almost standard by the internet explorer.
Of course, even a open source project like Open Merchant Empires needs you to
use IE ;)
The correct tag for a tooltip is TITLE, not ALT.
