Details

The following code will not display a tooltip for it's image (supplied by the alt tag in) where Netscape 4.7 and IE 5.5 do: <html> <head> <title>Testing to see if the tooltips work</title> </head> <body> <img src= "file://C:/image18.gif" height="300" width="200" alt="test1"> </body> </html> I noticed this in the images on http://www.bbc.co.uk/ also. Regards, Mike Harris PS. I'm using Tim murphy's email at the moment hence the address
I believe this is INVALID. Tooltips work only using TITLE= attributes within an <img SRC=> tag. See http://people.netscape.com/stephend for an example.
Alt text should not be displayed as tooltips. See bug 25537 (and many others) for the reason why this is invalid. Bug 74241 discusses having a pref for displaying Alt tags as a tooltip.
