Form inputs and images.....

[Joe]

Hi,
I'm stuck on this problem which only occurs in netscape browsers but it
concerns displaying alternate text when
you put the mouse over an image. The image I have is an input to a form.
On IE when the mouse is run
over the image the ALT text is shown however this does not work on Netscape.
Is this just a browser issue
or is it a problem with my code?

Here is the code I'm using.....

<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME="pageName" VALUE="page2.html">
<INPUT TYPE="image" VALUE="submit" SRC="/images/store/headers/image.gif"
ALT="Click Here to Update Information" BORDER=0>


Both these inputs are placed between form tags..

An help at all would be appreciated, please feel free to email me any suggestions.


Thanks a million.

Joe

That's not what the ALT is for, read the article on the use of ALT text in
images at <http://www.htmlhelp.com/feature/art3.htm>.
The TITLE attribute is more appropriate here, but NS 4.x doesn't support
that. The only way I know is to use DHTML generated tooltips, see <http://tech.irt.org/articles/js202/index.htm>.
