User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 It seems that the only way to get a tooltip for images in Mozilla is to use the TITLE tag. While TITLE also works in other browsers to produce the tooltip, as well as ALT, it doesn't allow me to leave out the ALT and still be W3C compliant. The ALT text should pop up a tooltip just as TITLE does for images. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open page 2. Hover mouse over both images and read the notes 3. View Source to see the tags used. Actual Results: No tooltip showed after waiting several seconds. Expected Results: A tooltip should've appeared with the Alt text without having to use TITLE.
This is the desired behavior.
