Text when hover over an image...

[hmmm]

I use NVU version 1.0
By using IE7, in my web site if I hover over an image it shows the text, for instance "Ayvalik view from the balcony".
If I use my Firefox browser no text shows over any image.
What might I be doing wrong please?

hmmm--Not sure if either of these is what you want.
In Windows Explorer click Tools|Folder Options|View Tab|Advanced Settings, uncheck the box "Show popup description of folder and desktop items".
Or use TweakUI for WinXP. Click on Taskbar in left panel and uncheck "Enable balloon tips".
If you do not already have TweakUI, get it here (free)

However, this should eliminate all "Tool Tips" or "Balloon Tips".

Don't believe you're doing anything wrong actually.... the text that shows on hover is the "alt" text for a link or image. Firefox does not display this "alt" text... I.E. uses the "alt" tag incorrectly in reality.
If you don't want it displayed at all you can designate it to be <empty> ... so, really depends upon what you want...

Thank you for your replies guys!!!
Abhoth; So as I understand If someone is browsing the internet by Firefox and hovers over an image, he/she does not see any text.
I never knew this:confused:

But if you use "title" both IE and FF will show it.

Ahaa!!!!!Thank you Jpnyc....That is great!!!!!
Please please tell me where about I should put "title" in where "Ayvalik view from our balcony". I copied and pasted 3 lines of HTML for your info.
Sorry to take your time.

style="border: 2px solid ; width: 369px; height: 278px; float: right;"
alt="Ayvalik view from our balcony"
src="../../../My%20Pictures/Ayvalik%20Holiday%20House/Ayvalikviewfrombalcony.jpg"
