can’t believe I needed to know that after all the years I’ve had firefox and was double-checking it and IE on my editing program and they seemed to work in both.
Nada.
Now they work.
Thanks.

TITLE!…. thank you for the reply… I see now, I was using alt=”fred” name=”fred”. Thanks again.. a big help to have alts show up in firefox w/ it’s popularity increasing!

@kathy

You tried using -both- alt and title on an image? If so, you should see a tooltip in Firefox or IE.

Tried your method for making Alt tags show up on Firefox.. didn’t work. (the link alt tag didn’t work either!) “Buzz, the monkey aren’t working!”

Any other suggestions??
