Yee-Wah Lee commented on TRINIDAD-1541:
---------------------------------------
Comparing the FF vs IE output, it seems that FF uses "title" attribute and IE
uses "alt" attribute for tooltip.
FF:
<img title="#CC66CC" ..>
IE:
<img alt="#CC66CC" ...>
However, in IE8 Release notes, "alt" is no longer used for tooltip. See section
"Accessibility and ARIA" in this page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288472(VS.85).aspx#access
"The alt attribute is no longer displayed as the image tooltip when the browser
is running in IE8 mode. Instead, the target of the longDesc attribute is used
as the tooltip if present; otherwise, the title is displayed. The alt
attribute is still used as the Microsoft Active Accessibility name, and the
title attribute is used as the fallback name only if alt is not present. "
