Text/Popup when holding cursor over picture

[Bubbles]

Hi

Is there an easy way to get a text popup when holding the cursor over a
picture?
I don't want to click and then get a window with an explanation, but an
short explanation in writing.

I'we tried layers, but couldn't get it to work.

I've thougth the <alt>-tag could do this?

There is no <alt> tag. There is an alt attribute of the <img> tag. But
that's not what you need to use since it should only be displayed when the
visitor has turned off images in the browser. Use the title attribute,
e.g.,

<img alt="this should not be displayed" title="but this will" ...>

 

[Murray]

Oops - I didn't mean to imply that you should not use the alt attribute!
You *should* use it for all images that are important to the message of the
page, but you should not use it as a 'tooltip' (which is what you call the
little pop-up).

Okay - thanks

But what if I want to show the text when the user has pictures enabled?
The picture shows, and if the user holds his cursor over the picture he also
gets a text showing.

That's what I explained in that post. Use the title attribute.

OK - I didn't get it to work so I try again
Thank you for quick and good answers!

You're welcome! You will have to add that title attribute manually. If it
is not working for you, then please show me your code.
