I believe Bob is referring to the ALT text "Part Detail" for the image.
Confirming with Mozilla trunk binary 2003040404 on WinNT. OS: Linux --> All.
When I hover the mouse over the image, the ALT text does not come up
as it does in NN4.7 and in IE6:

<a
HREF="javascript:LoadSideMain('http://www.molex.com/cgi-bin/bv/molex/nav/mxleft_nav.jsp?channel=Products&chanName=Series&series=88h2&TYPE=S&BV_SessionID=@@@@1170386138.1049752378@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccceadchmjgmhlfcflgcehedffgdfmk.0&Catalog=','http://www.molex.com/cgi-bin/bv/molex/part/parts.jsp?pageTitle=Series+&series=88h2&BV_SessionID=@@@@1170386138.1049752378@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccceadchmjgmhlfcflgcehedffgdfmk.0&Catalog=');">
<img SRC="http://www.molex.com/product/blocks/882a.jpg"
     BORDER="0"
     ALT="Part Detail">
</a>


Reassigning to Browser-General. I don't know what component this 
belongs in, but it's not JavaScript Engine. JS Engine doesn't
make the ALT text come up. I will attach a reduced testcase below.

Try the reduced testcase in NN4.7, IE6, and Mozilla. The ALT text comes up
in the first two, but not in my trunk Mozilla build above.

I don't know the HTML specs for this, but I did check to see that I have
"Accept all images" checked in Edit > Preferences > Privacy&Security > Images.
