Mouse over on image
|
I use Front page 2002 and would be grateful if someone could help me with the following problem. I have seen other peoples websites where if you hover the mouse over an image a description appears in a small text box. Can anyone explain if this is possible with Front page and if so, how is it done

Use of the alt tag within the image source will do the trick;
<img src="assets/123abc.jpg" alt="This is a sample of the alt text to be dispalyed on mouse-over RE the image!">

I have just tried the <title> tag and found it will work as alt text in images in firefox.ie
<img src="images/flashing camera.gif" title="camera" width="100" height="150">

The alt attribute popping up text is an undocumented feature in IE, rather than an HTML standard.
Ian is right - for full cross browser compatibility you should use the title attribute within an img tag.
