    Default tooltip help needed

    I have tooltips (text that appears when you hover over a link) working in Firefox but it doesn’t work with IE.

    I'm using a Title tag like this:
    <a href="httpxxxdotcom" title= "Share your photos"><img width="180" height="60" border="0" align="left" alt="" src="httpxxxdotcom/photos/button.gif" />

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    IE mistakenly overrides the link's title with the image's empty alt attribute. However, this would be valid in any browser and will work in IE as well:

    Code:
    <a href="httpxxxdotcom"><img 
    width="180" height="60" border="0" align="left" title= "Share your photos" 
    alt="" src="httpxxxdotcom/photos/button.gif"></a>
