Thanks. I didn't realize that IE's display of Alt text was erroneous - I
thought that was what was supposed to happen, and was surprised when FireFox
didn't do it. At the FF site I learned that they would display Title text,
so thought that using both attributes (with the same text) would give me
what I wanted. So far so good with IE 6 and FF, haven't tried any others
yet.
