But alt text has always appeared when I mouseover
The thing is Firefox has classically been using the title attribute to show tooltips, while IE has used alt. Neither is completely semantically correct to use as tooltips but title is still miles better than alt, which is supposed to be a text to describe the image's content to act as a replacement for the image to browsers that do not display images, screen readers and such tools, or if the image does not load.

I like alt text though! I've been using it to leave witty or amusing comments in my signature ever since I joined these forums. :p
Firefox is lame.
It's always appeared for me :confused:
YOU'RE lame! >:EQuote:

Firefox is simply bored and wants to mess with you minds.
It's always been this way, you big fruit.
No it hasn't.
Maybe you've been hallucinating for the past few years. Welcome to the real world. How does it feel to have finally opened your eyes?
So you're saying ranztien and face and all the people that wrote that developer's documentation I linked and all the 'how does I get alt text to show up in firefox' google results are all hallucinating?
Explain why it doesn't happen on other sites! Just eoff!
The... ...not-so Snowy-day. You don't see the alt text pop up on that star, do you?
Don't believe him, rubah! Blue pill! Blue pill!
Maybe you hallucinated them siding with you. I don't know how the minds of lunatics work. But I'll believe you, I'll believe whatever you want me to. Just do me a favour, okay? Just one favour. Slowly place that scalpel in your hand on the floor, then back away, okay?Quote:
