I've been reading up on making sites compatable, and one of the easiest ones I've found for adding firefox compatability is to not use the "alt" tags on images and such. The proper way to do it is to use "title" on the image tag.

It should be an easy change and it will made the non-IE experience more pleasant.

Thanks

I agree

Well as far as I know I always use the title-tag if I want to display a hint. But often I use alt in <img /> to give an alternative text for the image if it can't be displayed. I think that's how it is supposed to. And it is the standard and works in IE and Netscape. And I think it should be no problem for any other browser to.

But IE uses the alt text to give a tooltip when you hover your mouse over an image. Using the title tag does the same thing in firefox.

One example in the smiley faces in the ranking page.

Hi,
I know this. But I always tried to treat it correctly. All those buttons and stuff has title-properties and it works great. And in the images I have both a title and an alt-tag. It may only be that I forgot this on rare things. I'll check it.

np.. thanks for being so concientious.. that is very very rare in web deveopers nowadays.

Thanks again!

Oh you were right. I fixed it now. Just tell me if you find other places without title...
