In Internet Explorer, it uses the alt text for the tool tip.

However, Firefox gets it from the title="" element.

Opera uses title attribute for the tooltip. In some cases, you could just put the same thing for both to get consistent tooltips. Just remember to consider what the page looks like (and what the text will mean when read in context) when the alt text is displayed in place of the image.

  Isn't HTML supposed to have standards? I am really surprised when I visited banners page of website to look at the tooltips via Firefox.

So fixing it for IE will ruin it for Firefox. You can forget about this then

Really stupid MS. It doesn't use the content of title anywhere then.

Right, however the title attribute will be used if it exists. The following code shows the same tooltip in all browsers...

<img src="banner.gif" alt="Messenger Plus! Live" title="Get Messenger Plus! Live for free at msgpluslive.net" />

The problem with the code on the site is that the title attribute is in the <a> tag rather than the <img> tag. IE doesn't seem to like that.

Thank you very much WDZ. I changed the code in my space and I hope you change them on the website

Sorry for bumping this thread but I must say one more thing.

While working on website, please consider what WDZ said. Insert title and alt elements in img tags.

Let me explain why I bumped this thread actually. The codes in the banners page of website are translated into the website's viewing language. However the banners themselves are still in English. I mean the real html codes which displays the images are in English, not in the language with which you view the website. If they use the same translated values for displaying the images of the banners, then people like me could easily copy and paste the banner into their mail signatures or other places which doesn't allow playing the html codes directly.
