And, not that I am complaining, mind ya, you got the primary TR, but
my photo explanations didn't accompany the pics?

If you pause the mouse over the thumbnail photos, you'll see the text you
sent. Because you're so long-winded G, you may have to move the mouse
over the photo a few times or read really, really fast.

Where *EXACTLY* are the words supposed to appear? I tried that before I
sent in my reply post, but nada? Neither with thumbnail or larger photos?

Could it possibly have something to do with my 'puter settings?

They should appear right under the pointer in a little pop-up box. If
the mouse is moving, the alternate text won't appear, so it must be
perfectly still.

I don't think there's a browser setting. Maybe it's pibkac. ;-) Is
anyone else having that problem?

You're expecting a non-standard feature to work the same in all browsers.
The alt attribute is not intended to be displayed in a popup when you hover
over an image. That's for text to display while an image loads or if the
user has image display disabled. What you're looking for is the 'title'
attribute. Here's the cross browser way to do what want:

IMG src="an_image.jpg" alt="some text" title="the same or other text"

Yeah, well I was also expecting to see Kevin Vang tied to Liz Hurley,
but that didn't work out either.

It's good to have geeky friends. ;-) Thanks Stan. Try it now, Mark.

I'm working on it, but she's not answering any of my phone calls any
more. BTW, wayno or Jeffie, how do you go about appealing a restraining
order?

step one: send all disposable funds to my law account.

step two: i'll get in touch with her people and get back to you;
probably for more of step one.
