I am curious as to why Firefox only understands the title attribute when creating tool tips, why cant we just use ALT?
ALT is for alternate content only and should be visible only when image is not. It is like <noscript> and other HTML fallbacks.
TITLE was created especially for tooltips.
All standards-compiliant browsers stick to it. IE is the only one that tries to be "smarter".
