In the page http://www.pizzapizza.ca/english/pages/menu/sub_menu/pizza.htm under
the Pizza heading at the top users are directed to "List of Ingredients! - For
Pizza Toppings, roll your mouse over the desired pizza, and the toppings will
appear." 

However all the images only have "alt" tags, which do not show up in Mozilla
when moused over (although IE does exhibit this behaviour).  In order for this

This bug is a TECH EVANGALISM bug and is not a duplicate of bug 25537.  The
issue here is not the behaviour of the browser, rather the fact the a website
must change it's html to be compatable with mozilla.  As described the problem
is that the pizzapizza website is telling users to mouseover images that have a
tooltip display text listed in the alt tag, yet mozilla does not show text
contained in the alt tag as a tooltip.  I'm not requesting that this behaviour
of the browser be changed, rather that the pizzapizza.ca website fix it's code
and put this text inside a "title" tag within the image tag.

I first sent an email to both of the contacts listed in the WHOIS information
for pizzapizza.ca but received no response.  I then informed them of the problem
in their information form located here
http://www.pizzapizza.ca/english/pages/contactus.htm

I've received a reply thanking me for my input and they're going to give me a
voucher for a free pizza for informing them of the problem.  I've just checked
the site and it still hasn't been fixed however. I'll check again next week.
