How do I make firefox show alternate text for image on webpage?

[aceO07]

In IE, it will show the alternate text attribute for a img tag on a webpage. However it doesn't show up in firefox. Is there a way to did it?

i believe you use

<img="1.jpg" alt="description" title="description">

and firefox reads the title one.

That's in compliance with the spec, for what it's worth. The alt text is only meant to be seen if the image fails to load, or the user doesn't see images (e.g. due to blindness, a text mode browser, etc). The title is meant to be available even when the image is seen.
