Why don't my Alt tags work within my EZ-Pages?
Why Alt tags don't work within EZ-Pages?
Unless I am doing something wrong, they don't...
Ideas?
Thank you.

Did I post this in the wrong sub forum?

When I put an ALT attribute in an IMG tag by hand-coding the HTML, it works fine for me.
EZ-Pages doesn't alter your HTML. It simply outputs whatever HTML you've entered, directly to the browser.

Here is the answer:
In the past, some webmasters have used the ALT text description as a sort of pop-up tooltip on images, to add funny captions to family photos, or advertise a sale on certain products. That was because the TITLE attribute wasn't widely supported. It is now and Netscape 6.x browsers interpret the W3C specifications rather strictly - ALT text no longer "pops up" when you run your mouse over an image. You have to use a TITLE attribute for that.

I guess I was stuck in the past....
The title tag works fine in EZ-Pages to pop the code on mouseover.
