Question Title Alt Tag

Hi,

Can anyone show me how to make a title alt tag? I think that is what it is called.

In other words when people move their cursor or mouse over the title of my homepage title I want an tag to show saying the name of my title or other keyword info.

To see what I mean just move your cursor over the title words SEO Chat Forums on the top of this page. You will see the words "SEC Chat Forums" in an alt tag.

Thank you,

norlandny

You can add a title tooltip to you links by using:
Code:
<a href="linkaddress" title="yourtooltip">your anchor text</a>


or you can add alt text to your images:
Code:
<img src="imagesrc" alt="yourtooltip" />


If your looking for anything more fancy or to do rollover tooltips for your <h> tags then you'll have to search for javascript tooltips on google.

Title Alt Tags

Hi,

That way is backwards. If you place your link before your title it would come out showing your link and anchor text with your title in the ALT Tag.

I do know some HTML and I already know how to add alt tags to images. But thank you anyway.

Is there anyone else out there with a suggestion?

Ummm, the advice was correct, only split into parts. Up to you to combine them or maybe I can have a guess at what you ACTUALLY want and show you some code. Of course, you could also look at the source code of this very page, but well....

Code:

<a href="/" title="(no need for a title attribute here if the img tag has one already)">
<img src="logo.png" alt="My Company sells keyword1 and keyword2"  title="My Company (popup text)" />
</a>


You can add a title attribute to almost any element. Alt attributes, however, are only accepted on img tags.

If an img only has an alt attribute, MS Internet Explorer will show it as a popup "hint" as if it were a title attribute as well. Firefox won't. If the img tag has both, then the title text will be used as the popup hint.

Also keep in mind that the search engines ignore the title="for humans" texts,
whereas they like to take a little peek at the alt="for screen readers and search engines" texts.

</in a nutshell>

huh?

...order of attributes makes absolutely no difference.

Also there is no such thing as a Title Alt Tag... there is title attribute title="" & alt tag alt=""

I agree with fathom, the order makes no difference and you have a title tag for a link and alt tag for an image. norlandny I suggest you check out the W3C or W3Cschools to check your basic html. Maybe be a little clearer about what you want.
