            No, alt is correct. by LionsPhil 2003-02-19 12:17:27
This is one that gets people -- they're *both* right.

ALT is alternate text for if the image cannot be rendered (e.g. text-only browser, graphics disable, file not found or whatever)

TITLE is a comment on that image, often rendered (in decent browsers like Opera) as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over it.

The problem is that IE treats both as ALT. So people use ALT for tooltips. And then people using CORRECT browsers don't see them.
