The reason is that the bozos responsible for both MSIE > and Netscape Confusicator 4.0 decided that they would display the ALT > tags of images every time you move the mouse over them -- even if the > images are loaded, and even if they are not links. The ALT attribute > to the IMG tag is supposed to be used *instead of* the image, not *in > addition to* the image. > > This looks absolutely terrible, so I don't use ALT tags any more in > self-defense. > > If they wanted to implemented tooltips, they should have used the TITLE > attribute to the A tag. That's in the HTML 1.2 spec and everything. > > I had to decide between making this page look good for the vast majority > of viewers, or making it be readable by the miniscule minority of you > stuck in the 70s. Those of you in the retro contingent lost. Sorry. > --> -- Sent to you via the frendz list at marsbard.com The archive is at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
