Does anyone know how to have pictures on a website so that when you hover over them, it displays the title of the pic in a little yellow box?

[magenta]

<img src="address.jpeg" width="whatever" height="whatever" alt = "text here that you want to appear in the box"/>

Something like that. I think.

[Stephen.]

<img src="address.jpeg" width="whatever" height="whatever" alt = "text here that you want to appear in the box"/>

And I type this where exactly?

[magenta]

In the HTML, where you want the image to be displayed!

[Morals]

<img src="address.jpeg" width="whatever" height="whatever" alt = "text here that you want to appear in the box"/>

Something like that. I think.

You may want to remove the / from that though....

[magenta]

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the / either, I checked a couple of sites though and they both had it, so I just nicked it

[David]

having the / would be xhtml - normal html would end in > then have a </img>

dont even need the </img> or width and length.

so should read:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="text in yellow box">

ok im not very computer literate what are u lot going on about?

[TJD]

html tags. it is used when making a website. you start with a <> tag and end with a </> tag. whatever is between the <'s determins a particular aspect of a site

[David]

dont even need the </img> or width and length.

so should read:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="text in yellow box">

If you want your html to be w3c standard html and be viewable in some odd browsers too, it's recommend you put the </img>

Aha me understands now Thanking you muchly for the explanation

[Matt]

You may want to remove the / from that though....

It's good practice to put a trailing slash on a tag which doesn't have a respective closing tag.

So you'd do it for an image tag or line break, for example, but not for an 'a' tag (which has a closing tag).

I thought I was alright on computers until I read this topic!!! Bloody hell!

You may aswell have wrote it in Japanese!

*never mind - life goes on Gromit*

(Sorry to break the flow!!!! Feel free to carry on with your: <>//nhcjajc.jpeg@p{][[mkdhfbjbnn?@:l;nbf54vd language!!!!!)

[Sidders]

HTML is a very simple language, you wanna try reading some Java or C++ programming.

[Gromit]

Yeah - when I've run out of wet paint that I can watch dry - I'll consider having a read!!! lol

[Matt]

Your point being? Weeman only wanted to know how to make an alt tag.

[Stephen.]

Ok, so what's your final decision for the best way to put it, 'cause with all those changes, I don't know what to put now.

[TJD]

<img src="image.jpg" alt="text in yellow box">

by the way, are you gonna submit your site soon, what is it about?

[Stephen.]

I have submitted it and it's all about Johnny Knoxville.
I made a post about it ages ago but no-one paid any attention to it. It just turned into another argument that had nothing to do with the original post.
Hmm, sounds familiar!!!
Anyway, if you want to visit it go to:

& if you want to revisit it for any particular reason, I've put it as part of my profile so you can find it there.

[TJD]

oh yeah, i remember. and it has the jackass mp3.

[Stephen.]

That's the one.

[Stephen.]

Ok - Thanks everyone for the picture help. I've tested it on one of the pictures and it works by just putting

alt="WHAT I WANT TO APPEAR"

because all the other stuff is already in there as I did not create it using HTML but can still access it using FrontPage!!!
However, I have over 100 pictures to do so they won't be on the site for a while yet.
