Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010121 BuildID: 2001012120 When moving the mouse pointer on an image, other browser usually display the alt="bla" text given in the image tag in a "tooltip" style, meaning a little yellow rectangle pops up and displays the text. Many sites use this for additional explanations of the graphical elements of their UI and I, personally, find it very helpful. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load any page with images 2. Move mouse pointer on image Actual Results: nothing Expected Results: alt-text should pop up
Web authors need to use title="bla" for tooltip information. alt="bla" is used when images are not fetched. Please read the W3C specs for additional information. I have provided the links for you: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#adef-alt http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#adef-title
Agree with H-J. And this behavior is as it should be. So if you want tooltips to be displayes on image then use title="". Marking as inavlid.
