HTML - Alt Text Or Alt Browser?
I was wondering on the board's opinion. Basically, the ALTtext element used in image display, provides two things:
1. Replacement text if the image should be abscent so that you can easily reference which image is missing and replace it. 2. Mouseover text of the image so surfers can get short extra information about the image. Now, you may argue that a Browser should come set as default to ignore mouseover text. However, there is a reason why many web developers still use this in preference to an image title. The reason being that it is extra programming for the developer to type out additional code which merely plays the same role as the original Alt attribute. Some argue that the programmer shouldn't even give an Alt value! Sadly, in turn many browsers are unfortunately becoming designed without the Alt text attribute, making many Alt-text-specific sites hard to understand. If you honestly find a small bit of mouseover text which really only exists for a fraction of a second intrusive of your surfing time then you've got issues. Who agrees? Similar TutorialsHey i am just wondering why text size changes between browsers if you set it at a certain size. I set my text at 11px print, and the size from mozilla -> ie6 changes (gets bigger in ie6) but even greater difference in ie7... is there a way to make them all the same for sure without recoding for each browser? thanks in advance, -uberwalla Currently i have this bit of code on this site(www.rrelive.com/again/index.html) <form name="myform" onSubmit="location.href=document.myform.mytext.value"> <input type="text" name="mytext" onChange="location.href=document.myform.mytext.value"> <input type="button" onClick="location.href=document.myform.mytext.value" value="Go"> </form> But everytime i press enter it doesnt excecute the buttons code, so then it says the wrong thing in the URL Right now i want it to say"www.rrelive.com/again/hello" if i write hello in the box and hit enter. This works if i CLICK the button(Go). But not when i hit enter. When i hit enter it writes "www.rrelive.com/again/index.html?mytext=hello". 1000 Thanks in advance! Hello All, I cant seem to lock a form and images in a browser, I have all center and when it opens it remains centered but when I shrink the browser window the images/form moves... My CSS is <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-image: url(); margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; } --> </style></head> <style type="text/css"> <!-- #centerDIV0 { width: 100%; text-align: justify; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; visibility: visible; background-image: url(CS_bkgd.jpg); background-repeat: repeat; } #centerDIVX { text-align: center; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: middle; z-index: 2; left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; width: 100%; } #centerDIVZ { z-index: 2; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; margin-top: 380px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; visibility: visible; padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: -300px; } --> </style> And Html is... <body> <div id = "centerDIV0"> </div> <div id="centerDIVX"><img src="CS_bkgd.gif"/></div> <div id="centerDIVZ" bgproperties="fixed"> <form action="mailto:tastetation301@yahoo.com" method="post" enctype="text/plain" onsubmit="location.href='thanks.html'"> <p><br/> <strong>Name:</strong> <input type="text" STYLE="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000;" size="0" maxlength="50" align="justify"/> <br/> <strong>Email: </strong><input type="text"STYLE="color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; background-color: #000000;" size="0" maxlength="50" align="justify"/> </p> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/><input type="reset" value="Reset"> </form> </div> </body> </html> THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!!!! I'm using tables and I have text inside one table. When I add line height to text so it looks good in IE6, Safari and Google Chrome, it looks wrong in FireFox and Opera. Every line is over each other. How could I fix this? Here is the code from start to end of the text part: Code: <html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="style.css" />
<title>my site</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">

Hi all, I'm new to this site, I hope someone can help me figure out what on Earth I've done wrong. I've been editing this website to a new, CSS layout with DIVs instead of frames and tables. In my browser, IE6, it looks PERFECT, but in IE7, the DIV with the navigation text is overlapping the DIV with the header image, and in Firefox 2.0.0.16, the DIVs might as well not even be there--all the text runs right on top of the image! A screencap of what it looks like in my browser is he http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...ta-browser.gif A screencap of how it's turning out in IE7: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...IE7Version.jpg Firefox screencap: http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f3...layout-cap.jpg I have no idea what I've done wrong, or why it shows up perfectly in one browser, but not in any other. The page used in the example is here, so you can see how it is on yours and peruse the code for mistakes: http://cityofdemons.com/lmr.html Thanks in advance for anything you can tell me! Is it possible to have some error text appear if a user is browsing your website with a certain browser using html/css or maybe java? An example being: If - The website is being browsed using Safari Then - SHOW error text = "This link won't work with the Safari browser." Else - DO NOT SHOW error text is that sort of thing viable or just a pipe dream at current? Thanks in advance. Regards, Stoney Hello dear friends, i have an problem with text box read only. Using mobile with opera mini 8.65 or 4 and i have try bolt browser and ucweb6 mobile browser anyway i can not control the browsing of the text of my text box because the scrollbar does not work. If someone did know for wich reason ? If not possible to use the scrollbar with mobile browser could someone know how to add in the text box an button so we can browse the text by clicking up or down. I have many search in the internet the right text box with vertical scrollbar but all scrollbar could not be using by mobile browser. If you have a idea please give me your advice billion thanx by advance. here is the (ineffective) code currently: <img style="float: left; width: 169px; height: 73px;" src="img/logo1.png" alt="" /> <h1 style="text-align: center;">random text</h1> the image shifts the left margin such that the text is centered as though the page width was 169px less than it really is. i'm not debating the code itself; the code above behaves as its meant to. aka no surprises. i just cant figure out the appropriate code to center the text across the entire real width of the page as though there was no image. i've tried div tags & all the things google hunting advised. no luck. other than finding this forum, which seems like it'll be a boon! thanx in advance for advise/comments/feedback/help. I have several websites that I maintain and update. A lot of them are just textual changes and I would think my customers can do these themselves by editing a simple .txt file. I was hoping my choices are avalable so that I can just insert this tag into my web pages and then give them login info to their edit page or show them how to upload the .txt file. I hope this is an easy one with several answers. Is it possible these tags could discipline your rankings in the search engines? Thanks, Jason Hi All, I am new to this forum and is expecting an answer for this question. I have implemented a facebook type search to the database which displays the familiar text saved in the database when I type some text in the database. My issue is after I have used the search box for a couple of time the text box starts displaying a similar dropdown from its history which hides my database search. Does anyone know how to disable it using html or css. See the attached Image if my question is not clear. http://www.htmlforums.com/attachment...1&d=1306715905 How do I Link text in a div, h1, h2, p to an external text file or xml file - I don't really know how to ask the question.

What do you think I should be building my sites to? What do you use? 2. Also why do some sites work in all browsers? CSS hacks? Microsoft are no longer letting you download Internet Explorer for the Mac, from microsoft.com. Therefore all new mac users from February last year will not be using Explorer. Please help! Thankyou Tom does anyone know a browser that will only parse and evaluate valid HTML/XHTML based on what the doctype is and ignore invalid HTML/XHTML or generate errors. So if I had a XHTML doctype and my code was: Code: this is a XHTML document <br> this should be a new line I don't want the <br> to parse because I want something to trigger that is it not a valid XHTML tag since it is not closed. Any browser won't really care and just show the new line. I would have to validate it on the w3c website to find my error. So I want a browser that would give me these results based on my example code: Code: this is a XHTML documentthis should be a new line and then some sort of error saying "<br>" on line x is invalid. Hey guys should I be worried about coding my site for the IE 5.x series or should I just concentrate on IE6 and IE7 I have seen this many times but can not figure how to do it. Its the transparent images or text in text boxes, one example of this is http://au.movies.yahoo.com/Coming+Soon/to-cinemas/ At the top right you can see that transparent yahoo image in the text box and when you click it it disappears then comes back? can someone tell me how this works? Thanks Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right area as this is my first thread. The problem I'm facing is I have 7 links in a row | Link 1 | Link 2 | Link 3 | Link 4 | Link 5 | Link 6 | Link 7 | and below those links I have nothing. What I want is for Text to appear on rollover on Link 1 and stay there until Link 2 or another link is hovered over. Example: Mouse hovers on Link 1 - called Free Home Survey Text appears below row of links about Free Home Surveys that the company does Mouse hovers on Link 3 - called Personalisation Text appears below the row of links about Personalisation etc Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance hi Everyone, I have a html form in which i have a text area.I enter some thing in the text area and when i again request for the same html page i want to now display the html page with the changes i made last in the texta area.
