Idle odd thought: I was used to using IE as my browser, and seeing the "alt" tag from images show up as a mouse-over. I was surprised when Firefox didn't show it. Even a little annoyed. Until I found out that there is an HTML requirement that, if you want a text-over on an image you put in a "title" tag in the image. The "alt" tag is only for when images don't show up. I got used to a bug... but now I'm putting "title" tags in my images when I want something to show up. That was the Microsoft way... present people with a bug and claim it's a feature.
