I am seeing the text when hovering over links, but not over the images. Firefox uses the "title" tag instead of "alt" to display text in a tooltip when you hover over images.

Thanks! That helps a lot! My lap top crashed and I switched to Firefox on my PC, so all I am seeing is Firefox.

Back to working on the website... How do I get the title of an image to show up in Firefox? I am using DW and put the "alt tag" on the photos, in the usual way. I am using firefox, so I don't see the tags.

Beech.. are you using firefox? Is that the only browser I am having problems with?

Pretty simple. You need an alt and title tag for each image. Dreamweaver doesn't write title tags through the interface. You'll have to add the "title=" attribute to each image reference in code view. Yep, labor intensive, but its for google.

Thanks Scott. Have an ext to do the title attributes, but doing both is causing such a mess of errors. I am using a newer version of DW, 8, as apposed to 2004 mx, maybe that is my problem? I just want to make sure what I see in firefox works in other browsers. My lap top is in the shop. It died, so dont see netscape. I could load it on my pc though.

Looking at it closer, its pictures without links and links on the maps that I can't get to work. I am clueless!
