A google search popped up this reference which says firefox uses the alt tag as intended: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp Look at the section titled "Mozilla Firefox and the alt Attribute." It says "title" enables mouseover comments, so I tried that with one of your files and it worked (mouseover now displays the info); however, it truncates everything past the first . On Safari, mouseover displays nothing when "alt" is used, but shows the complete text when "title" is used. -jean
