if we are talking about the part in capitals here: <img src="/myimages/myXPicture.jpg" ALT="TEXT-ALTERNATIVE TO THE IMAGE" title="This text will show as tooltip in all browsers" /> then it is an *attribute*. The alt-text, which is meant as an alternative if the image fails to load, is not consequently shown as tooltip when hovering the mouse above the image (it is only shown most of the times in Explorer), whereas the title-attribute makes a tooltip which comes up in all browsers. If you want a faster tooltip, or one that can be formatted as regular HTML, you can use javascript (there's a lot of them out there for the purpose, keyword: tooltip), or you can do the thing with an inline tag inside the a-tag, as I have done on the <http://visesangere.dk/viseopt.html> (the "s.2" "s.26" "s.51" "s.76" and "s.101" links) The technique is somewhat described and discussed in the thread that I begun December 10th 11:11am with the subject "CSS only tooltip in IE appears below other elements" <http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/67326> (I _may_ get the time to put a neat demo-only-this page together at some point, but not right now) > <img border="0" src="./logo/' <?= $row['logo'] ?>" alt="' > <?=$row['ambusiness'] ?>at Recruiters-Online" /></td> By the way, when trying to decipher what's wrong in your code, always use the code online (view-source in the browser), then you will also be aware if your PHP (this seems to be) turns out otherwise than intended :-) And finally: it is kind to the rest of us, to begin a new thread instead of answering, and thereby "hijacking" an existing one. It might not show differently in your mail-program, but it does in mine, and it confuses matters in the archives ;-) Best regards Jesper Brunholm ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
