I'm having a complete brain block here. What is it called where when you place the cursor over a picture you get a little popup description of the picture? Also, how is it done?

the title attribute like this

<img src="my-photo.jpg" alt="picture of me in the snow" title="picture of me in the snow" ... >

you need the alt text to concisely describe what the image is for screen reader users and the title attribute to display the popup text
