Alt attribute and Firefox

[carinemaz]

Hi all,I can't seem to get the alt attribute to work in Firefox...My text does not appear when you go over an image with the mouse.

<a href="images/rocheuse/index.html" target="_blank"><img src="images/thumb_nails/dam-gil.jpg" alt="Journée dans les Rocheuses avec Damien et Gillian" /></a>

What is wrong in this code?!Works fine in IE6Thanks in advance for your suggestions

this is what w3schools site says,Mozilla Firefox and the alt AttributeIf you use the alt attribute in Firefox on images and image maps the text will not show on mouse-over as in other browsers.Firefox uses the alt attribute the way it's meant to be used, like an alternative text if the image won't load, not as a mouse-over text.Firefox does support mouse-over comments on images or image maps if you use a title attribute in the <img> tag.E.g. <img src="image.gif" alt="bla" title="bla bla blahttp://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

This won't happen in FF. Use the title attributte on the "a" tag.
