Is there a way to show alt="text" as a mouseover tooltip in firefox like IE does automatically?

I don't want to repeat alt text in title again? is this possible with any javascript , jquery, css solution? or any solution which can disable to show alt=text and enable title=texr and as a tooltip?

Solution

  • alt text is for an alternative representation of an image. title text is for tooltips.

    IE's behavior is incorrect in this regard, and Firefox will never implement it. (The bug in the Bugzilla database is #25537, which is VERIFIED WONTFIX.)

    Not only that, but even Microsoft has admitted that their behavior is incorrect, and IE 8 doesn't show alt text as tooltips anymore!.

    So don't rely on alt text being displayed as a tooltip. Use title instead.
