Most people don't have time to go searching for your post among the hundreds or thousands they read/respond to a day. If you want help, you're going to have to help the helpers, also. As for this particular "problem", it's not a bug. It's intended to work this way. ALT text was *never* intended for tooltips, and in my opinion, this "feature" never should have been added to Communicator. In any case, a standard now exists for the sort of functionality you want. Use the Title attribute - i.e., <img src="myImage.jpg" alt="You can't see my image!" title="You can see my tooltip!" /> Justin H. -- "If it's in stock, we've got it!" -slogan for a tire store
