Hello to all, My question is similar to the mentioned TITLE and ALT-"problem":
If we have a linked image, on many standard compliant sites I see: <a href="xxx"><img src="xxx" alt="yyy" title="yayaya"> But I always prefer: <a href="xxx" title="yayaya"><img src="xxx" alt="yyy"> Is it wrong how I do it? Or is it the same and doesn't matter?

Because it shouldn't. IE is the one who does it wrong. There is an extension though, if you're that silly :/ http://www.gadgetopia.com/2004/11/09/FirefoxALTTagsAndTooltips.html On Wed, 01 Dec 2004 10:11:36 +0000, Joey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am curious as to why Firefox only understands the title attribute when > creating tool tips, why cant we just use ALT?
