disabling alt popup?
Greetings! I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the nasty little yello boxes that appears in IE when one hoovers over an image with the alt attribute set.

You are too cruel. Mozilla doesn't have the incorrect behavior that the OP didn't want. It blocks popups and spam. It's more secure. It has better standards compliance. |

If you don't want anything in there, try adding title="". From memory, that will stop IE from doing that, though I can't remember offhand whether it causes side effects in other browsers. -- Mark Parnell http://www.clarkecomputers.com.au |

You are too cruel. How is Leif's comment misleading? The manner in which IE handles ALT attributes is incorrect. Therefore, this is a clear case where Mozilla is indeed better, as it handles the ALT attribute correctly according to the standard. Perfect example from our discussion in the "View source" thread -- you may PREFER that the ALT pop up as a tooltip, but QUALITATIVELY, doing so is incorrect. -- *** Remove the DELETE from my address to reply *** ================================================== ==== Kevin Scholl http://www.ksscholl.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Information Architecture, Web Design and Development ------------------------------------------------------ We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams... ================================================== ==== |

I see nothing that forbids UAs giving access to alt-text as a tool tip. --- Safalra (Stephen Morley) --- http://www.safalra.com/hypertext |

I see nothing that forbids > UAs giving access to alt-text as a tool tip. That discussionhas been had ad naseum here and elsewhere. The TITLE attribute is for tooltips. The ALT attribute was not intended for such use, but rather for those who had/have text-only browsers, or images turned off. -- *** Remove the DELETE from my address to reply *** ================================================== ==== Kevin Scholl http://www.ksscholl.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Information Architecture, Web Design and Development ------------------------------------------------------ We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams... ================================================== ==== |
