I’m trying to get the Alt text to appear like “Tool tips” ie when you hover over the image you get the Alt text!
I understand Alt text is supposed to be solely for when images can’t be seen for some reason?
My situation is I have a background image (flattened) with multiple images on it (30) I want each one when hovered over to display the Alt text relative to the image!
Ive tried to simply draw a blank graphic box over the top of one of the 30 images and added an extended attribute to it - it works but once rolled off stays visible. I then tried to do the same the next image but it only seems to show the first image alt text, I canlt seem to achieve this in this way? How should i go about it?
Understand I may be being lazy, soory but it would save me loads of time!

If you add a title tag to your images, they will always appear when
the image is moused over. Click on the image, select Item/Extended
from the main menu, click New, add ‘title’ and ‘Whatever your title
is’ to the Name and Value fields (without adding the quotes) and
you’re set.

If you really want to geek out, you can add these in with JavaScript
and Prototype. Apply the Protaculous Action to the page, then click
the second Function Body button in the Actions palette. Add the
following script:
This little one-liner finds all images on your page that have a non-
empty alt tag, and copies the alt tag to the title tag.
If you’ve got hundreds of pictures on your page, this will save you
considerable typing.
Be sure to switch Protaculous over to prototype-packed after your
initial testing, as it will save you quite a few kilobytes of page
size. (Note that this script will be cached by the browser, so it’s a
one-time hit, despite what the page size in Freeway reports.)
