no hint on the fly when mouse over - even when there is a link
When I put a link via the html like: alt="this is the hint" then in IE the hint is displayed when the user hovers the mouse over the text or image I am displaying. But not so i Firefox. Same html but different behavior in the two browsers. It is of course my intention that the hint be seen. I have not figured out if it is a setting that needs to be changed?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Image_tooltips_do_not_work
The alt attribute is meant to show when the image is not available.
The title attribute is meant to show as a tooltip on hover.
IE also shows the alt attribute on hover if the title attribute is missing, but Firefox doesn't do that without an extension.
Thank you! simple but just what I needed
You're welcome
