Oh maybe I was confused... There seemed to be a mild language barrier
issue and I was inferring (maybe incorrectly) that "time out" was being
used to describe the character limit, rather than the actual display
duration, simply because he mentioned the users wanting to enter lots of
text and not being able to read it all. But ja, any number of options
aside from alt. Title may not get them any closer to what they really
want, so the js may be what works for them. I honestly have no idea how
the browsers determine how long the alt or title text displays or how
many characters to show -- although I do know IE has a setting for
"always expand alt text" which seems to imply that there are situations
in which the alt text is just omitted. I'm guessing that's not the case
with title.
