alt

The alt attribute in the < img > tag doesn´t work in Firefox ?

Does anyone know why?

Cheers

It does. I think you're just misunderstanding what it's for. Alt text is meant to replace an image if the image is unavailable for some reason. It works fine.
What you're probably thinking is that it should show a tooltip whin you hover over the image like it does in IE. The fact is that IE does this wrong. The correct attribute for this is 'title' not 'alt'. Firefox gets it right.

All browsers display a tooltip for the title attribute.

All browsers display the alt attribute text if they can't display the image.

Internet Explorer additionally treats the alt attribute the same as the title attribute.

Hi. Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that. I really thought the alt and and tile attributes were the same.

All the best
