IE will display title text if it is provided, and alt text if there is no title text. My current project has css rollovers display the full text of an abbreviation within an image. The title text was the full text, but that meant that a hovering mouse would trigger the full text rollover *and* the full text title popup -- a confusing double effect. So I nixed the title, but then IE displayed the alt text abbreviation, which was worse because now the abbreviation was concealing the full text. An empty title attribute (title="") didn't override this behavior, so I wrote an htc called "Alt Destroyer" that will remove the alt text in IE for images that are successfully loaded. Not stress tested, but so far works like a charm to prevent ugly alt popups in IE. ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
