html image alt tags

[blr044]

Just to understand, I do not have any problem with the image alt tags in the php script.

 

Now I have from one to a few images on home page. To edit the text on the home page, one goes to languages/english/index.php

 

So when moves the mouse over images, it will display some text. I can not get my to display this bit of text. This is what I have:

 

<img src="images/image.jpg" width="200" height="200" alt="text">

 

I have searched google and and even through tips and tricks. Or is this not possible because of the file name extension?

 

Thanks.

Try <img src="images/image.jpg" width="200" height="200" alt="text" title="text">

I use this for images, having set up tables

<td width="37%" rowspan="7"><div align="center"><img src="policeimages/image1.jpg" alt="Would you measure up in Police Brand products" width="309" height="437" hspace="2" vspace="2" align="top"></div></td>

 

I set my html stuff up in dreamweaver, and that is the way it does it for me. In the example, I have several images in the same row.

Thank you. I tried both ways.

 

The second did not work, but maybe because I did not use <table></table>. To make it work I end up doing as the following. Omitted the term alt and stuck with title:

 

<img src="images/image.jpg" width="200" height="200" title="product description">

 

Thanks again.

<table>? why the hell are you using tables to display an alt tag?!

Bennett, you are right using both alt and title tags.

An img call without an alt attribute is incorrect. You need to include them both for the popup to work in all browsers.
