# Alt text does not get displayed in proper browsers, although IE will show it as a title if there is no title specified.
I have now specified a title.

# well you have achieved what I had in mind
I said alt-text as that's what it's called in the firefox image propeties thing that I can get by right clicking.. as the hover over is quite often never long enough.

# Your info is just out of date
alt text is the old HTML abusing way of doing it. But since that is not what alt text is supposed to be used for, they added the title attribute so that the alt text could be used correctly again.
