Why we are not able to see our "ALT" tag performance in Mozila firefox...while "ALT" tag working well in Internet Explorer. Is there any specific problem?...In images we use both title as well as alt tag...what is the difference between these two...Please share your knowledge with examples. Thanks and Regards, Omie
Omie, what you're seeing is actually a bug in Internet Explorer. The alt="" attribute of the img element is used to provide alternate content in case the image cannot be displayed. Internet Explorer incorrectly uses the alt="" attribute as a tooltip, which is what the title="" attribute is supposed to be used for. Also note that I said they're attributes, not tags. Tags have a beginning and ending delimiter, which are < and > respectively. Attributes are contained inside these tags. Here's a quick summary. div - this is an element (the div element in this case, which is a generic block level division) <div> - this is an opening tag (the opening div tag, in this case) </div> - this is a closing tag (the closing div tag in this case) <div title="descriptive title text">Lorem ipsum dolar...</div> - this is a DIV element expressed with an opening and closing tag pair; note that the opening <div> tag contains a title attribute. Hope that helps.
