Does Opera support ALT images?

I think that's the name of it..it's when you roll over an image and it has a certain title for it? As an example check out www.imdb.com

It doesn't appear to show up for me in Opera, but works finely in IE.

do you mean the alt tag? hit 'g' to see them, then hit g twice to go back to normal...(cycling through 3 image viewing modes.)

Hmm, didn't do it..that just enables/disables images..

That's the wrong usage of the "alt" parameter. ALT is used when a browser doesn't support graphics/images. The text is used as a replacement. The correct parameter for a tooltip is "TITLE", but IE6, being IE6, sets its own standards and displays it as a tooltip anyway. IE is the reason why everybody's using ALT wrongly, as well as coding HTML badly.

Well I like how when you go to IMDB.com in IE..and they have celeb pictures, and you can simply roll over their image to see what their name is. There's a riddle page posted here yesterday where this feature was also very handy. Stuff like that makes me yearn for that ability..

wouldn't they essentially be the same thing? if you have a browser that doesn't show images, what would be shown in an TITLE tag that wouldn't be appropriate for an ALT tag?
