How do I make a mouse over text description for an image?

Provide Alternate Text

You've just spent countless hours creating an extraordinary webpage loaded with beautiful graphics and effects. Now comes the surfer who has turned off graphics in their browser to help speed up downloads. They are completely lost on your site and can't even find your navigation buttons. AAARRRGGGHHH!

Don't let this happen to you. After all, you spent hours upon hours creating pages that convey your message to the world; make sure that they can all see it. Simply use the ALT attribute of the < IMG > tag, like so:

< IMG SRC="mypic.gif" ALT="A picture of me" >
