Hi all,

Not a nitpick, but rather a request.  On the scenery map here:

http://www.flightgear.org/Downloads/scenery-0.9.10.html

after looking at the page source, I see the 'alt' tag is used to show the
file
sizes - good idea!  Except the 'alt' tag is not designed to produce a
'popup'
text box, it is designed to show text in lieu of an image on non graphical
browsers or devices that cannot see images.

Needless to say, Konqueror web browser using latest KDE 3.5.6 does not
show
them (it shouldn't!)- and I think it is very good to be able to see the
file
size before downloading.

What really should be used is the 'title' tag.  The 'title' tag will
over-ride
the 'alt' tag if used.

It would be nice if scenery map page could be changed so that the 'title'
popup will work on all browsers :-)



Back when I set that up it worked great! (on the browsers of the day.)

If you can show me some sample code changes I should be able to go in and
fix things up.

Thanks,

Curt.
