Thank you Andrew & Graeme!

I tried this and found that Opera displays the same text window but it now 
contains both the title and the link address. It looks pretty ugly when 
viewing a local page having long directory names. Msoft's IE seems to treat 
the TITLE tag the same as the ALT tag.

Out of curiousity I ran a page through http://validator.w3.org  It looks 
like the ALT tag is required for strict 4.01.

The only invalid thing Front Page is doing with my very simple pages is 
inserting a width attribute for table cells. (The validator told me I should 
have a DOCTYPE specified also but that's my fault).

I guess I don't see enough benefit to adding a TITLE tag when the ALT tag is 
required for compliance ... I'm going to be lazy and leave it as it is.

Thanks again for the education!!!

Hi Jeff,

I get the Olympus OM list as a digest so hopefully not too many people have 
already answered your question.  :o)

The trick to displaying your picture labels in every browser is to use the 
title attribute as well as the alt attribute:
<img src="image.gif" alt="bla bla bla" title="bla bla bla">

Hope that helps!

With best wishes,

Graeme
