The Alt Atribute

Made for the general public, but made by Dertta on 11/18/08


You've seen it several places before; someone tells you to hover your mouse over an image and some text comes up. The text might be explaining who is in the image, what it's for, so on. Now... How do you do that? Simple, really. Almost deprecatingly simple.

Simple enough, right? Just image tags around an image I took and uploaded. Let's get to the purpose of this tutorial.

Wow. Hard work, right? Now our image looks like this (hover, please).
Stop To Be On Top
Wow yet again! Pure magic. ^^
