Internet Explorer Tooltip

[myyoungfamily]

Does anybody know how to eliminate the IE tooltip when mousing over images? I want to be able to put text in the "alt" tag for the search engines to pick up on, but I don't want that popping up on my viewers.

Include an empty title attribute:

<img alt="..." src="..." title="">

That will work for alt attributes being shown but, if you mean the imagetoolbar, then use:

<img galleryimg="no" src="some.jpg">

There is a meta tag that will disable this for the whole page but, it is a memory leaker, don't use it.

So, if I use an empty "title" tag that will do the trick?

Thanks for the meta tag tip, I've been using that.

Yes, the title attribute has priority, if it is empty, nothing will be shown, even if the alt attribute is set. Most browsers only show the title, if any. Only IE, that I know of shows the alt ever, except for when an image is either missing or not being used by the browser, then the alt is what takes the place of the image on the page. That is what it was designed for.
