Default Off Topic, HTML help

That's because, technically, you're using it wrong!

"Alt" is supposed to work INSTEAD OF an image (i.e., it was moved or you
coded it wrong). For something to work IN ADDITION TO an image, substitute
"title".

MSIE doesn't seem to know the difference, but Firefox does... I don't know
Safari, but if the used the html standard correctly, it should work.

I need some basic HTML help.

I *finally* figured out how to put in an alt text tag on an image, so the
name of a picture comes up when you mouse over an image.

BUT!

It only works in MSIE's browser, not Safari and Firefox, which leaves out
some visitors.

Any help? How can I get this feature to work in every browser (or is that
impossible?)

I wanted this feature for the index list. Please see http://www.csnjc.org
