This is my silly season entry (from xkcd):

    You left out the title text for the image: “That cat has some serious periodic components.”

    Matthew—I did put the alt text in there. (In Firefox on Windows, I can right-click and select properties; the alt text is shown.) I don’t know why it isn’t displaying.

  3. Philip replied on :

    To display tooltips on hover in Firefox the title, rather than alt, attribute must be set.

    Older versions of IE incorrectly used alt text as the tooltip text, hence the confusion.

  4. Steve replied on :

    Philip—Thanks. Fixed.

    I suspect the root of the problem is that the underlying code was written using Object Oriented Programming techniques. . .
