Question / Clarify - 12/16/2005 9:15:11
I have recently noticed that FF does not show the alt text in a pop up display like IE does when hovering over an image. Is this correct, or is there a way to make the alt text pop up in FF when I hover over an image?
I was looking for a CSS remedy to this if FF does not show alt text on hover.

FF is actually doing the correct thing - alt attributes are meant to be alternatives to the image not added information. You could try adding a title attribute to the image if you want more information "on hover"

Tailslide is correct, but many people got used to IE showing alt text like titles.
There is a Firefox Extension which produces that functionality:
