Missing ALT tags?

I've got two Mojo installs (latest version) and about 15 web sites where no image ALT tags are displaying in IE/FireFox when you mouse over an image. In "view source" I can see the alt tags are there, they just won't display on hover for some reason.

I'm not sure when this started and I also don't know if it's a Mojo problem or something wrong with my skins/css. Anyone else notice this? I see alt tags working on this site, so I'm leaning towards a problem on my end.

If anyone happens to have any insight into this let me know. I'll post back if I figure it out.

Re: Missing ALT tags?

Really it is the title attribute that will make the tooltip. Alt text might do it in some browsers, but with title it will work.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Missing ALT tags?

Yea, I read that too. But it used to work, works on other sites and even your site that the alt tag shows as the tooltip.

I guess I'm a little lazy to go add all the title tags. On the other hand, if the goal is to be compliant then in reality the alt tags are in fact in the html. Frankly, I don't want people to see my keyword stuffed alt tags anyway :) Still, I'm curious as to the why.

Re: Missing ALT tags?

Where do you see it on my site? Are you sure it doesn't have a title?

The little flag icons at the top and donate button for example:

<img height="18" width="27" src="/Data/SiteImages/flags/hr.gif" alt="mojoPortal Croatian Community" />

Not a big deal, these little mysteries side-track me enough, lol.

Re: Missing ALT tags?

Its because the flag images are inside links and the links have title attributes.

Best,

Joe
