<a href="registration.cfm"><img name="Infoem" border="0" src="../images/infob.jpg" width="18" height="18" alt="Please provide your correct E-mail for correspondence which we will send your account details to.(Like hotmail, yahoo, or any private email)">test</a>

use alt + title in those cases

[javascriptuser1]

i am not good at javascript.
As per ur hint i tried like this


instead of alt i just title
title="Please provide your correct E-mail for correspondence which we will send your account details to.(Like hotmail, yahoo, or any private email)"

and its not showing netscape the full text which i wrote above

the same is working fine.

can u give a sample how to use alt + title

[javascriptuser1]

i tried like below


<a href="registration.cfm"><img name="Infoem" border="0" src="../images/infob.jpg" width="18" height="18" alt="Please provide your correct E-mail for correspondence which we will send your account details to.(Like hotmail, yahoo, or any private email)" title="Please provide your correct E-mail for correspondence which we will send your account details to.(Like hotmail, yahoo, or any private email)" >test</a>


but its not showing the total text .

its showing only

Please provide your correct E-mail for correspondence which we will send your acco

and missing the below text.

unt details to.(Like hotmail, yahoo, or any private email)

where i am wrong.

Hi!

First of all: the code you posted in your attachment works. I tested it in Netscape 4.7

Adding the title attribute to the img tag doesn't bring anything in Netscape.

I took the following specifications (or better: interpretations made by Netscape) for the img tag from http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/1998/htmlguide/tags8.html#1310399:

<IMG
SRC="location"
LOWSRC="location"
ALT="alterntiveText"
ALIGN="alignment"
BORDER="borderWidth"
HEIGHT="height"
WIDTH="width"
HSPACE="horizMargin"
VSPACE="verticalMargin"
ISMAP
USEMAP="#mapName"
NAME="imageName"
ONABORT="imgLoadJScode"
ONERROR="errorJScode"
ONLOAD="imgLoadJScode"
SUPPRESS="suppressOrNot"
>
----------------
On my machine, the only difference between the tooltip displayed in IE and in NS is (apart from the font) that NS doesn't make a linebreak.

My assumption is that your screen is too small to display the complete text as a tooltip in NS.

i just go through the syntax which u posted here.

i am using Netscape 7.1

i just open this link netscape 7.1 alt is not working.

http://devedge.netscape.com/library/manuals/1998/htmlguide/images.html

with The same link alt is working in I.E.

how can we solve this?

Hi!

Coming back to Khalid Ali's proposal:
use alt + title in those cases
For sure he wanted to tell you to use the alt attribute with the image and the title attribute with the anchor:

<a href="registration.cfm" title="Please provide your correct E-mail for correspondence which we will send your account details to.(Like hotmail, yahoo, or any private email)"><img name="Infoem" border="0" src="../images/infob.jpg" width="18" height="18" alt="Please provide your correct E-mail for correspondence which we will send your account details to.(Like hotmail, yahoo, or any private email)">test</a>.

Due to the fact that I am using NS 4.7 (only for testing - where your original code works btw) I can't tell you whether this fixes the prob. Just give it a try instad of using both attributes in the img tag...

Hi!

Don't like to repeat myself - anyway: what screen resolution are you running???

Cheers - Pit

[javascriptuser1]

hi,
my screen is

colors :true colors
screen area :1024 by 768 pixels.

[javascriptuser1]

any solution to my problem???

[Pittimann]

Hi!

Maybe Netscape 7 has a limit for the alt= text (??). As your screen res is 1024, there is enough space to display your text even without breaking it into two lines.

Are you sure you don't have an extra quote in the word "account" (like: acco"unt)?

Whatever it is, the original task of the alt attribute has never been to serve as a tooltip. Maybe individual tooltips instead of alt="blah" will help you out. The following claimes to work in all 4.0+ browsers:

Due to the fact, that your code works very well in "my" NS4.7, I don't see a reason for it not to work in a higher version.

[javascriptuser1]

Thank you very much for the valuable info.

i am sure that i don't have an extra quote in the word "account" .

i will cut down my text message in alt and title text.As per your comment i think this is the only solution will work.

Thanks again for the valuable info.
