does not work on firefox

Question

ALT command (for images tooltip) does not work on Firefox.
pls help me

Answer 1

Actually, the alt attributes works as it SHOULD in Firefox - not in IE. The "tooltip" type behavior in IE is the WRONG treatment.



The purpose of the alt attribute is to provide textual descriptions to be provided in place of image content for browsers that do not support images, for users who have images disabled, or for users with visual disabilities. IE has never properly used the alt attribute per the W3C standards. Firefox correctly ignores the alt attribute, when the image IS available to the browser. The W3C spec provides the title attribute as the means to give descriptive text to supplement the image content. If you provide both of these attributes, you'll get your desired effect. That is, Firefox will ignore the alt and give the additional info available in the title, and IE will do it it wrong but give the effect you're trying to achieve.

Answer 2

Text in ALT is displayed when the image is not download.



For Image Tooltip, you use TITLE instead.

Answer 3

ALT works only in IE4, 5, 6, contrary to ALL other browsers.

Use TITLE !

So, always use BOTH:



"ALT" was meant to show a text IF the image is not visible, a W3C recommendation that IE never followed.

"TITLE" is meant to show a text when hovering over the image.
