Description Laurent Culioli 2001-06-11 14:49:58 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           3.0 (using KDE 2.2.0 \6alpha2)
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Linux-Mandrake 8.1 (Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Linux-Mandrake 8.1 2.96-0.50mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.5-1mdk
OS/Compiler notes: 

When you put your mouse on top of a image
containing the tag alt  a tooltip appears with the contents of the value of the "alt" tag.
It is very interresting because many webmasters write a description for a image

Oh boy it's time for a FAQ entry for that one....... 
[did you look at #26944 before submitting it?]

There's no standard that says an ALT tag should appear when you 
hover over an image. 
Most of the time the ALT tag contains some stupid description
like "foo.jpg (231432 bytes)" as frontpage does by default and it's only
meant to appear when images are disabled.
Tooltips upon images are supposed to come from the TITLE attribute
and this is being implemented.

Will add to the FAQ.
