How do I insert image titles, as opposed to alt representations?

When adding images to a HTML page, FrontPage enables insertion of Alternative
representations via picture properties. These are not readable in Navigator
nor FoxFire. To enable all users to see the title info by passing mouse
pointer over image, I enter the title as an alt rep., then manually replace
"alt=" with "title=" in the html doc. Is there a more direct way to do this?
 
More direct that manually typing it in? No.

No... more direct than entering title as an alternative representation and
then manually altering the html code to replace "alt=" with "title=".

Although it isn't really the same, title will show up as a tool tip in NS
whereas Alt won't.

Click to expand...

? I thought Firefox was supposed to be up to the minute for Accessibility?

To answer your question yes ... just buy FrontPage 2003 you can do it from
the Hyperlink Dialog box, great timesaver, otherwise you have to do it
within the html.

When you do do it within the hyperlink box and your putting a title tag on
text and the text you want is the text you have selected it's represented
'Text to Display' box you can copy and paste that into the title screen tip,
press the screen tip button and just right click and paste.

There are JavaScript title tags of course but that's no good for
accessibility.

Let me know if this helps

If you wish to display text when the image is visible, you should use both
alt and title.
"alt" is used by all browsers when the image cannot be displayed, either
because there is a bad link or the user has switched off images.
NN4 will not display the title text
Other browsers will display the title text if it is available.
IE will display alt text if the title text is not available.
 
alt text was never intended to display text on mouseover. It is an alternate
representation of the image used when images are turned off in the browser
and for accessability.

Accessability has nothing to do with displaying tooltips.

The title attribute is for displaying text on mouseover.

Tina,

Sorry, I misread your message. I have 2003 and your method works just fine.
I had been using the properties box.

Thanks for your help.
