To get a little pedantic, the alt attribute is not meant to be a tooltip (although IE treats it that way. Its supposed to provide an alternate description of the graphic for assistive technology to read when a non sighted person can't see the actual graphic.
IE renders alt text as a tooltip. Firefox does not. Its not something you have control over.

Any suggestions where I need to place the Alt text etc? <img onmouseover="imgMain.src='photos/large/#rsGetDetails.pic1#';" src="photos/thumbs/#rsGetDetails.pic1#" class="border" name="thumbnail1" border="0" width="50" height="50" alt="#rsGetDetails.pic1_alttext#" /> Basically I have a number of thumbnails where a person can scroll over - I would just like to place an Alt tag with the main image as well.
